Would you say someone restoring an old car should recycle it instead? If an archaeologist finds an old buried tool should they recycle it? The rosetta stone is made from valuable silica, let’s recycle that too!
People are allowed to enjoy things. If having a couple of old computers makes someone happy, isn’t that better than them buying new things instead?
What those “enthusiasts” do with the old machinery isn’t reusing. It is hoarding.
It’s not hoarding as long as it doesn’t impair your ability to lead a normal life in a livable home. Beyond that, to each their hobbies.

Even if you collect garbage, it is still stupid to whine that garbage is recycled.
