Or they had an idea, needed devices to test and be able to destroy if they fucked up.

He probably owned a device capable or running a virtual machine which would be much more convenient to deal with.

Also this idea of "but what if I'll need this in the future", is a common theme among horders.

When was the last time you ran a website on anything cool?

The novelty wears off. It doesn't justify keeping trash around forever. Sure it can be a fun project that you get some joy out of, but there isn't a need to preserve it forever.

Easy, just set up your other hoarded ones to make a mesh and do some distributed sharding in the vape cloud!

If you have to modify the hardware. Checking pins, testing things, soldering… you might want to have backups.
