Hasbro makes everything with kids in mind first, they are a toy company and the biggest use of toys is play. The main thing about wanting to still see some durability/play-value is surviving falls and the ability to just grab it off the shelf and mess with it. It's Hasbro not NECA, DST, DCC, or SH so there's some fun to be had with not necessarily full on play (unless someone is a kid in which case play on) but still fiddling with it to find cool or different, dynamic poses and displays (though you can still mess with those other companies' products but with much more care and caution). I suppose if you just want a good looking representation to stand there and just be then a model does look better and fits the bill swell but a lot of collectors might prefer the tactile nature of the toy. To each their own.
