Who are in Bitcoin don't think this way but altcoin enthusiasts think like you. They love to hold as many coins, tokens as possible in numbers and don't care about quality of a project and its future. Altcoins mostly have kind of most common ending - death.
People I speak to outside of the crypto community aren't even aware that there are small demoninations of BTC, so I have had people actually tell me they can't afford to buy it (because they can't afford $100k).
I agree that within crypto circles, degens just want a massive bag of anything, but human psychology must play a role here and often people chrish having a large quantity of something rather than a small quantity of something even if the value is the same.
