It’s all relative. Sure- some people go out and buy every piece of the most expensive gear they can get for any hobby- even one they just started and likely don’t need all the kit for. But they obviously have the money for it, and being new they don’t yet know what they do and don’t need and so would rather be over prepared. Some people have health issues- or might be on an all day excursion or etc. then there’s comfort. I stopped at lunch yesterday on a whim at the trails near my work. Noon heat and sun and me walking the trails in a heavy leather motorcycle jacket and gear, carrying a helmet. A gorgeous walk but not as comfortable as if I had proper gear or even just not work clothes and motorcycle gear. So que sera sera.
