I suspect that to some level this reflects how varied one’s path through life has been.
Certainly my own varied collection of mugs and cups is mainly the product of having lived in many different places and having picked new mugs up along the way. Also I’ll keep old mugs around even after they’re chipped because they’re associated with my memories of places I lived in before.
That said, maybe a varied life and a hodge-podge collection of mugs are correlated and have a common cause, rather than having a causal relation - it makes sense that the kind of people comfortable with moving to places were they don’t know anybody (and even with different cultures, if they change countries) would also be comfortable with a less than perfect collection of cups and mugs.
