That's a lot of how I feel about it too. I couldn't afford shit when I was younger, and I can now. I'm not trying to relive my youth or anything I just like lots of different amps.
Also, I have NO guitar shops around me at all. In order for me to even see a new amp, or different brand, I 've got to drive 3 1/2 hours to St Louis, and it's a crap shoot then. So if I wanted to try an amp, I did a lot of research on prices, then searched until I found one at a cheap enough price that I could unload it and at least get my money back. The funny thing about searching for a cheap amp is that you never find just one! If I was looking for a JCM 800 and the going price is 800.00 I'd find one for 650.00, and as soon as I bought it, I'd find two more for 550.00-600.00. So I'd buy them and keep the best out of the group, then sell off the other two at the going price of 800.00 and I'd find that I got the amp I kept for damn near free so I'd squirrel it away and start looking for the next amp.
Also, I've found that a lot of the time when you're dealing with old amps, you'll find two identical amps that sound so much different from each other that they both warrant keeping them. Same with cabs. I like cabinets, and I like the way different cabinets sound. So I've bought and sold a bunch of them and I've kept a lot of them.
It doesn't hurt much that I'm a packrat either...

Sick twisted individuals who play live/studio/bedroom who know NO compromise when it comes to KILLER tone and versatility AND have the means to facilitate the gear a tone snob's wet dreams are made of.

some ppl want to try lots of different flavors. hey, if you can- why not?
i think most guitarists of any persuasion would do so if the solvency thing weren't an issue. and some do so regardless...
if it doesn't outright effect you, don't let it bug you! if you like the one guitar, one amp thing cool!
