I think we are all different in what we want or expect from aviation. Ok one person may have the Cub in a Barn and get a lot of pleasure tinkering with it and taking it up on a sunny morning! They may get involved in an annual fly away.
I have no disagreement with that! Infact in my own situation You can almost go full circle and hanker after your beginnings so the Cub becomes an attractive proposition.
My own motivation was different leading me through Multi engine pistons with a 97% mission accomplishment rate to business jets which I have flown over a large area of the world and have been very privalaged in doing so.
But that goal means being paid to fly as the machinery is too expensive to do it any other way.
But I cannot do this forever( getting older ) and a Cirrus for touring and getting back to basics or a Husky in a field appeals
