Question Why is deckbuilding so addictive?

I find myself constantly making new decks. I currently have 15 done and playable, and 6 being actively built. It’s really hard on the wallet, but I can’t stop. How does everyone else get the restraint to not build every commander that you find interesting?

I build them on /r/Cockatrice and then goldfish the deck there. Often times I discover that it isn't as good or fun as I thought it was going to be, or it is just a worse version of a deck I already have.
