Rodents love stuff. Moisture loves stuff. It takes time and energy to put things away. That's why the coat or sweater that's flung over the chair tends to stay there forever. It would follow then that the easier you make it to put stuff away, the more likely it is that it will be put away.
Stuff expands to fill the space available.
The bigger the house and the more storage, the more stuff accumulates. You know you had a jar of honey on the shelf, you just didn't see it because other jars and cans were hiding it, so you bought another anyway. Stuff costs money more than once. First, you pay to buy the item. Then you have to take it home.
