I think people who aren't looking for something specific (i.e. they already own all the "basic" stuff they really want) and just enjoy getting more stuff probably like random loot boxes? Because if you want to get everything, it's usually cheaper to buy those.

Personally, I don't understand the desire to want every single skin or item in a game even if you never use it, especially when you have to pay like $5000-$20000 to get that, but some people seem to have that urge. Whether that's unhealthy spending or just a hobby depends on the person, I guess.
