Imagine having two laptops. One costs €/$/£ 100, the other 2000.
While the expensive one would obviously be vastly superior in terms of performance (if not overpriced Apple iGarbage, where one mostly pays for meaningless five letters, four of which are distinct, and the glowing image of a fruit), I would feel much more comfortable carrying the cheap one around, because it should still get much work (text editing; sending messages; web browsing with not too many tabs, etc.) done, and I don't have to worry about breaking something expensive.
Also, in case of defects, I would be more brave attempting repairs on an affordable device rather than an expensive one. And cheaper products are also more suitable for unofficial modifications.
The same also applies to vehicles. If I owned a luxury vehicle, I would not use it for casual trips to a store. It would needlessly wear down from starting and stopping, and gather unwanted attention.
