There is a certain pleasure to briefly holding an old coin in the palm of your hand. I see it more as driving an old car occasionally rather than just letting it sit in the garage because you are afraid of another stone chip.

I agree with you about the cars but did you ever go to a car show? Many of those cars are brought there on trailers. Some are covered all the time untill the show. If you paid several thousand dollars for a paint job, a nick or chip really hurts.
Same with coins. Many want their perfect coin to stay that way. Holding an expensive coin in your hand may feel good but if your hand is full of dirt and acids, that coin will be yelling for help.
