In addition, guys buy boats to enhance their enjoyment recreating on the water and to make fishing more enjoyable and comfortable. But they're a pain in the ass to own, transport and store. Campers make another, sometimes uncomfortable hobby more enjoyable and comfortable, also a pain in the ass. But most probably never crawl into a tent where a camper will fit after owning one....the list goes on.
Suppressors are an obvious progression for those who shoot for recreation. The cost compared to the above is moot, and around here, most people store their boats for a 9 month wait time, anyway....
