Just to wade in here (sorry) I think both your arguments are valid.
I sit between both to be honest, if I find I'm not using lenses I tend to sell and either save it for future purchases or change to something different. Bodies are harder, I tend to shift them quicker as the value drops faster - as jk pointed out. Though if I stick with the Z6 II, I'll probably sell my Z6 as it is for around £1000-£1100, which isn't bad given I bought it used with the FTZ and 24-70 F4 for £1800 and I'd keep the adapter and lens - I lucked out in that it still has a john lewis warranty till may which some buyers will value.
I'm not sure I'd be quite as tempted to old bodies, the only one I regret selling was my D1, but that's purely sentimental.
I dont think that there is a right/wrong way just what suits you best.
I have multiple 105mm lenses for my Nikons. A 105mm f1.8 Ai, 105mm f2.8 Mikro VR AFS, 105mm f2.8 Mikro AFD, and the 105mm f2.8 non-Ai. I had to throw out the oldest 105mm f2.8 recently in Spain and that really upset me but it had become corroded internally and had seized so the focus would not turn. It always used to work so well. I had bought it as my first Nikon telephoto in 1973.
Yes I sold my D1 to get my D1X. I still regret it but looking back the D1X was a much better camera. It had many extra features and no magenta cast. It was one of the reasons I did the project of working out how to re-cell the EN4 batteries so I could keep my D1X running along side my D2X.
