A large stash renders you immortal:
"I can't die yet, I still have models left to build!"

This is my 2nd time back as an adult modeler. This time I promised myself that the days of the stash would be over. I was just 60 then and saw no realistic reason to hoard models that I'd never build, and most likely when I passed, no one in the family nor friends would want. So I promised myself that my stash would never exceed a bakers dozen. And nearly 8 years later, my stash remains at a consistent 13 models. Of course there is always the research that will require AM parts, decals, and specialized tools.
