For me there's no philosophical underpinning or an expectation of a far removed exterior preventative effect that I could never hope to measure. I also don't do it to feel good about myself as a person.
I do it because it saves me money in the long run.

It's also not particularly difficult stuff to learn and do on my own, and I prefer engaging in pursuits that further my personal independence.
