>$10k is too much of a barrier for a hobby?

Yes. A few hundred dollars is normally too much of a barrier into a hobby, let alone $10k. Your friends are obscenely wealthy

You really don't have to be obscenely wealthy to have that kind of money invested into a hobby over time, just a decade or three into a white collar career (or decent paying trade) is plenty.
