Each person holding crypto might have very different needs, incomes or ways to spend their time. I'd say, along the lines of BTC being the most permissive form of money, everybody is free to use it as they please. Profit might be the goal, or maybe not. Who knows what obscure reasoning might be behind each individual's decision to hold crypto, but there's very little to be done about it.

well not really.... everyone in crypto is mainly in for the speculative side, if you had different needs (like a safe investment for your retirement), you would invest in a pension fund or safer assets
