>>508104646 (OP)Because people like to entertain themselves and we have enough money to spend it on leisure.
This is true of all peoples in all time periods.
in my experience:
All people who mindlessly regurgitate "consoomption is LE BAD and christ is LE KING" still waste hundreds of dollars on expensive computers and figurines and video games.
They just trick themselves into thinking that it's not CONSOOMPTION because they're consuming "acceptable media"
if you press them a little too much on why they spend money on these things, they will just start insulting you
At the end of the day it's just a self-soothing mechanism, you want to trick yourself into believing that you're superior because you don't watch Marvel. (but warhammer video gaymes are a-ok!)
