You can't live in a statue of a pig.

Value of primary residence isn't even considered part of your net worth. It exists, but it's not fungible like other assets.

This response is why you should never use analogies.
I used the pig statue analogy in the same sense as your original.

Anything you own that has value, but is not your primary residence, is intrinsically different from your primary residence.

And that difference is reflected in standard financial metrics.
