If this is truly your perspective, then I think you might find yourself in the minority in this kind of a board and indeed in a Western Capitalistic society in general.
Here, many people logon to ask advise on what kind of equipment might yield better results. They might dislike something about the sounds they are getting, but often they are getting better results than they probably imagined were possible, or at least results that are good enough. In any case they are striving for better results that sound more like they hear on their favorite recordings or in their "mind's ear." It's not just about equipment. Folks also read about new techniques for mic positioning, mixing, etc. which may lead them to try new things that they haven't thought of even if they're happy with their results to that point. They may post mp3's of songs that they have recorded and mixed for both praise and constructive criticism. Even when they are satisfied with the results they got, they may incorporate suggestions they get into a reworking in the hopes of getting even better results. All very relevant examples of seeking to improve things that aren't broken.
Also, unless you are a Communist, Socialist, Rastafarian, I have to think that your home and daily life are filled with conveniences that would contradict what you stated about not wanting to improve things that aren't necessarily problems. Are you still using the first guitar, microphone, etc. that you ever got? Do you have a cable modem, DSL or wireless internet in your home? Do you have a cell phone-- if so is it the most spartan, bare bones model that they offer? Why would you even need that? Have you ever upgraded from one computer to another before the first one broke down? etc. etc. It's the American Way.
