My parents have china, and silver, and when I was growing up they used it at least eight times a year (seven birthdays and Christmas). Two (and maybe all) of my sisters have a full set of china, used less than once a year.
Roscivs and I did not get china for our wedding, nor did we ask for it. We were not in agreement about that at first. He said, if I get china, I'm going to use it every day. Huh? Every day? said I. That's ... not what china is for. It's for special occasions.
Turns out that every day is a special occasion. Nobody lives this as much as Roscivs did, and it's why he died so well. He'd spent each day like a golden coin.
You could summarize his position as "buy only what will serve you for the average day" AND "the average day deserves the best".
I have all the special plates I will ever need. One set for every special day.
