If a person owns a guitar and wants it spotless, what’s that to anyone but the owner? I will never understand how they manage to sell guitars with fake use pre-beat into them, but who cares? I’m not the one buying them.
Having an opinion on what makes for a great guitar is cool. Expecting others to use and maintain their guitars based on your personal opinion is a bit of assholery.

Yup. +1.This.
I want to build a life size Pete guitar hanger in that exact pose so he can hold it like that when I'm not playing it.If I want to buy a guitar for any of the reasons listed above or even as a boat anchor, so be it. My money; my choice. Why do some find it necessary to tell me what to do with MY stuff?
And FWIW, I‘m a gigging player. Granted I don’t move like Pete Townshend, but I‘m careful and don’t beat them up either.

I keep all my stuff like new, not just my guitars. All my video games stay in their cases, displayed neatly. Other collectibles and items stay looking new and my cars are always spotless. It's just how I am.
If my guitars get a small scratch so be it but I will always do my best to protect my stuff. I paid for it with my money and I want to keep it as nice as possible for as long as possible.
fyi, I'm not obsessed with cleanliness or being neat. Not at all. But my things that I like, they stay nice.
Most of us are surely aware of how Eddie Van Halen built his guitars, but I still cringe a bit when I remember the interview where he just tossed a couple in the back of his pickup to go to the studio because to him, they were 'tools'. But I treat my tools pretty well, too.
If I want to buy something to look at, I'll hang a piece of art on the wall.
If I want to buy an investment, I'll buy stocks.
If I buy a $5000 guitar, I want to play it. Inevitably, I will get dings, scratches and probably drop it once in a while. Such is part of playing guitars.
People who just leave their PRS in a case and/or are petrified to do anything that might damage it make no sense to me.
Play your damn guitar and enjoy it too!
