I have refinished all sorts of furniture over the years that have lasted decades. All my kids (3) have dressers that I refinished - all 100 years old or older. Our dinning room table 100 yo, kitchen table 100 yo.
So - at least in my house - real wood furniture is the way I recycle or reuse. Of course all furniture I build I try to make it 100% wood; there is some plywood but never chip board. I rarely use MDF.
I think if a person likes to change decor every few years it makes sense to go cheap.
I think you're talking about the trendy crowd. It's a good thing for "modern furniture" businesses that the trendy crowd exist. Who could stay in business selling a new kitchen table or bed to a customer or their descendants every 100 years.

I hate to see real wood or stone in hotels, restaurants, particularly fast food, because I know it will be trashed in a few years.
