Because I spent a fuck ton of money on a machine that’s been surpassed by a £30 set of plastic tubes.
Fucking love the aeropress.

Hah!
To be fair, my La Pavoni basically only gets used for making milky coffees for my wife in the morning and her in-laws when they come to visit. Maybe if I fancy an after dinner coffee I'll grab an espresso as a filter coffee at that time probably isn't wise.
I've definitely tried to warn a few folks off home espresso in this thread before. It can be a very expensive hobby that can be quite tricky to get right. And if you don't mind (or prefer) filter coffee, can very easily be bested by something a fraction of the cost/space.

Filter coffee and espresso + water will rarely taste similar IMO. Is there a reason you wouldn't just make it with the aeropress?
