In the face of such an articulate and well-reasoned rebuttal, I must concede. You really did prove me wrong.

Utter nonsense. By your logic, I should own five work stands (and five tire pumps, and five torque wrenches, etc) just because I own five bikes.
I own a Di2 bike, and I use the charger for about two hours after every 600 miles, just to top off the battery. If I buy another Di2 bike, tell me why I would need to pay for another charger...? Or, more to the point, tell me why that charger would be as essential as brake pads?
