So its perfectly reasonable for an individual/business to hold onto them and see what they can get in 5-10+ years. Is your wife an asset whos market value is rising? If so I feel sorry for her. Also I don't think the demand for her would go up with age. Quite the opposite.
I think a lot of people that haven't experienced owning a bunch of cars don't understand what it's like. If you have 5+ cars, you likely aren't many miles on all of them.

Couple that with working from home and even your wife having a car you use, and all your stuff just collects dust. Ask me how I know.

Don't know how I overlooked that. Probably the biggest reason for low mile evo 8/9s haha
