It's a fair question, but the motivation doesn't pertain directly to the cost of the uppers. I have more assembled uppers than I want.
ARs have gotten me into a bad habit. I think about the merits of a configuration. Curiosity drives me to shop and figure out the cost of that configuration. The shopping leads to buying. Buying leads to assembling, testing, and getting good accuracy and reliability out of the new project. When it's all squared away, I store it and start thinking about other ways to do it, which starts the next project.
I don't know what you would call that hobby, but I wouldn't call it "shooting" exactly.
