I get laughed at by people like this because I am a range shooter who only fires .22 LR. I like how it feels, I like not having kick, I love that I can buy a 500 round box for like $30. I enjoy shooting but don't need a kitted out AR to make myself feel strong. Plus a .22 is still lethal if needs be.
I liked how someone explained that people collected ARs as if they were Barbie dolls. They kit & custom every individual rifle like someone customizes accessories and clothes on a Barbie.
I agree that there is nothing more satisfying than to go to the range and not worry about your wallet if you want to expend every round you came with. I don't need to spend 1-3 dollars (.303 British, my beloved) per round when I can have just as much fun with a rodent blaster and a bucket o' .22 LR.
it's different if you're self aware of the fact that you're making hobby modifications for fun and personal enjoyment rather than because you're a tactical genius combat master
