That's a pretty simplistic attitude, and probably a hypocritical one as 
well.  Have you never rented a camper, or a cabin, or a car, or a 
specialized tool?  I doubt it you own everything you've ever used. More 
to the point, have you never guest operated at somebody else's station, 
or do you frown upon those that do?

Building a station is fine for those with the resources to do so, but 
I'd posit that having the skills to operate one is at least as relevant 
to the spirit of ham radio.
