Probably in part because they're historical artifacts, akin to baseball card printing plates. I don't have a use or collecting interest in negatives, but have a few as interesting production items. I've had a few glass plates, which are interesting to show people.
As with others, I'm more of a hang-on-the-wall photo type person. Some people collect baseball card wrappers and probably empty vintage film boxes, so I'm not judging what others buy. My taste is just my taste.
