A motorboat is a silly example that most people don't want anyway. Minimalism is, like consumerism, still obsessed with things. Hop onto r/minimalism and you'll quickly find many people who stress over not having fewer material possessions, and who force themselves to forgo essentials like clothing and hygiene products.

All depends. Regarding moving about every day, hard to beat owning a beater Toyota or Honda over a 2-3 year period than using Lyft or Uber for that. But if you want to move around with the latest gadgets a couple of days a week, maybe car sharing or taxi or sharing makes more sense.
I'd also wish for a pentium pro article on the same vibe. Many people don't realize that it paved the way to even the current "core" series! In some ways, like the DX50, it was even better than its successors, although it was plagued by issues.
