That might be quite a leap. Anyone who can drop $10 or 12 grand on a road bike is obviously well off enough to buy whatever they want, whenever they want it, at least as far as bikes.
To your point, though, maybe the person who seeks out a steel frame in this day and age will cherish it, like some art object. Or they just want something different.
