I think the disagreement comes down to the difference between being a "minimalist" and the "minimalism" form of aesthetics. I'm speaking towards the latter, which is a style that is perpetuated via social media. While being a minimalist means you have a goal of using or acquiring less. A goal like that does not have a hard line of what is and isn't 'minimalism' in that sense. While "minimalism" as an aesthetic form of design has to portray a look and feel that doesn't care about what you need.

Also, what's wrong with renting or borrowing tools? 🤦

Because renting can be more costly, and borrowing may not even be an option.
