> I do not know what you are talking about.

What are you talking about? Show me one survey that shows DIY crafts as a whole becoming more popular in the past several decades. It's just not a thing. People increasingly don't have room for it, computers and cell phones have won as a way to spend the bulk of our free time, and even if you want to create, the primary outlet is the digital world.

> 3D printing at home is more popular than ever

Sure, but that's a given because the technology didn't exist until very recently. I can also say that Tesla Cybertruck is more popular than ever, but that doesn't mean much, right.

> Even families I know who don’t have a computer at home, only their phones, now have 3D printers and use them.

A vanishingly tiny proportion of families in the US or in the EU own 3D printers and use them.

Entry level 3D printer sales (the kind you buy from Prusa or Bambu Labs) have been surging for years.

You could Google this and find a thousand articles about it. The entry-level segment has grown massively and continues to expand https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/context-industrial-growt...

I built my first 3D printer over 10 years ago. The latest printer I bought is much more refined, but it's still stepper motors, belts, a gear driven extruder, and a nozzle like my original printer. The technology has been around for a long time. The popularity explosion is recent.

We're talking about hobbies and that's how hobbies work, yes.

The hobby is growing significantly, though. Arguing that most households don't have a 3D printer is just a strawman.

A vanishing small number of people ever did those things. Many people owned tablesaws but they rarely used them to make something for fun. They owned the dream and subscribed to the magazines but they only rarely made anything.
