Why keep anything? Why get a tattoo? Why ride a motorbike? People do it because they have some motivation or desire to do it.
When I said I would "most likely" not tell people about it referred to people I don't have a close relationship with that has an element of trust missing. More accurately I would not be inclined to post pictures or details on social media or forums etc, I would be very selective over who I shared certain information with.
Personally I would like to try and expand the keeping and captive breeding knowledge of speckled browns and stephen's bandeds (possibly others) that would be my more hobby related reason. Elapid husbandry especially breeding is not as comprehensively covered compared to other reptiles, so it would be a positive to help secure some knowledge on those species.
I couldn't care less if my friends see them or not why would that matter to me, in fact I would prefer no one saw any of my collection due to security and contamination risk. I also mentioned I would wait to have a stable job and home, although I know many people do rent with vens including some of my friends so it would be a possibility if I desired, but I don't.
I was paraphrasing the statement by that individual so I'm not sure what the direct quote was which is why there were no quotation marks in my comment, I didn't bother looking up the quote as for the purposes of this topic it wasn't necessary. Saying that I agree with his statement still compared to your correction, no offense or not disagreeing either.
