I think the reason is “I don’t want to have to work until I die” actually.
Investment property is one of the few remaining ladders of social mobility. Does it suck that it doesn’t extend down far enough? Yes. But removing it as an option just further widens the gap between the billionaires and everyone else.

Passive income. Equity. Financial security. Something you can take a quick loan out against without worry that you’ll lose your home.
I mean you can easily argue “greed” about everything. For example: Why do you need a bigger paycheck (besides greed)? Any answer you give, I can conveniently waive away as you not living within your means. I mean, you could easily buy or build yourself a tiny home and live on a cheap plot out in the boonies. Oh, you want amenities? Accessibility to the convenience of a town/city? What could you possibly want with any of those material wants (besides greed)?
