Its not free though, is it?

You're spending mental power indexing all the things you have. I assume you pay for your dwelling, dollars-per-sqft is a thing to consider.

Doing the Amazon route (which is exactly what I do) means I know I have every cables I could ever need within 24 hours. And I don't have to remember where I last put it, and I don't have to deal with knotted cables, and I don't have to wonder when a thing doesn't work, is it the cable?

I'd say Amazon is not necessarily a guarantee of that.

Instant access to useful items is valuable. Think of it like... caching for tools. I like having items I need within reach. I'd love a bag like Hermione's in Harry Potter.

Waiting 24h is a lot if you're in flow and you want that thing _now_ dammit!

Your comment only ensures me I'm doing the right thing keeping them. I don't want to pay amazon, make their drivers pee in water bottles, and produce more plastic waste from packaging and transport for thing I already own.
