It's not really that amazing.
It's the same reason people buy cars that can go triple the speed limit or buy SUVs with serious off-road capabilities and drive them in the city or buy a 5000 sq ft house for 2 people. How many of those people use their purchases to their full potential ? Not many.
It has very little to do with need. It's all about want. And that's nothing unique to Apple, it's just the consumer culture we live in.
