My problem with buying used is that some things barely survive the warranty period, so if I can get those two years of warranty, I will. I usually aim towards buying the latest thing and using it for at least 3-4 years for the things that go old the fastest (CPUs, mobos, RAM, GPUs). Other things might last longer - i.e. I just retired a case and a PSU that are 10+ years old (bought new).

I somewhat agree with your sentiment, but indeed it seems like the more we want to vote with our wallets, the further we stray from practicality.
