- To me, being able to stock pile items is such a satisfying thing to do. Maybe you or your character just enjoy to collect things, to have your own little treasure pile.
- Some people, like myself, enjoy the personal challenge of not using items that would make you more powerful. Or at least, not until (potentially) the last section of the game.
- I think it's nice to have that option and not being forced to use things.
- Sometimes games can be useful to challenge ourself on our own. Not because we're being force to.
If you want to use items more often...maybe train your willpower and use them?
- At the minute, abusing long rests is the only way to trigger all companions scene.
I know I would use long rests way less without that aspect. I hope that part get fixed.
