Isn't this the sunk cost fallacy?
For the unitiated: https://yourbias.is/the-sunk-cost-fallacy
The summary version is that you've spent so much time and money on something that you keep it around because you've spent so much time and money on it.
It is! But I also think the reason is more than just the sunken cost fallacy.
That seems likely to me.
I could speculate on what that might be, but there's little value in such speculation.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
You too!
