You don't know what others have. My HT has a 10' wide screen with a (real) 4k projector, proscenium, 3 rows of d-box recliners, 7.1 + over head speakers for audio with the walls treated for audio and a dark neutral coloured walls for light reflection.
Also I was lucky enough to get a good education that lead to a good job and the income that now in my late 40's I can afford such expensive toys. Does it mean someone that was not as luck or someone earlier in life must not care because their toys might be less expensive. When I was in university I lived in an apartment that was 1/2 to 1/3 the size of my HT today, it was what I could afford. If some was now in that scenario would it necessarily mean thety don't care, or like me at that time, that it is what theyt can afford on living arangemnets. Some can care about the movie watching experience without having the means for a dedicated room with expensive equipment.
