Perhaps for you, but the people I have witnessed that behavior in seem to do it with everything—maxed out inventory slots of 99+ for no reason. I’m sure there are a thousand motivations that make someone hoard, but my personal observation is that it has more to do with neurotic personality traits than poor game design.
Furthermore, if it really is fear of not getting the item again, then why do I see people still not use their resources on final boss battles? There won’t be a next time, so it is seemingly worth it to finally dip into the stash.
