If people want to spend £3k on a bike without putting any thought into whether it is the most cost effective purchase, whether they could source all the parts and build it themselves and so on then what is the problem?
To those people £3k is clearly not much money as if it was they would be putting more thought into it. They may just be off riding their £3k bike and not caring about all this stuff as much as some of you seem to.
