There's quite a difference between OP's pic and yours
You can see hand-drawn shikishi and framed works. Oldschool otaku liked to get actual drawings by their favorite artists and cel drawings from the anime they like. This way they actually own a piece of their favorite media. It's not just mass-produced garbage, it's one-of-a-kind actual part of the anime.
Locally made shirts and jackets with their favorite characters, a bunch of posters from magazines they subscribed to and events they went to. The manga and books in the back are piled up for reading, not for display. They have their dakimakuras out and in their arms, where they belong.
Your pic is cheaply-made and mass-produced rubbish neatly arranged in a shelf so someone could show it off to people online. Especially the vtuber currently looking at the picture in frame.
The otaku of old cared not about showing off, the items were for THEM to look at
Now fans make "shrines" for characters purely to show to others about how "elite of a fan" they are. There was a time when it was more about how dedicated you were to said character, but it's changed.
