Well, perhaps not for you. I suspect it does for most people.

When it impinges on someone else, though, then it becomes that person's
business too, to that extent. Taking up a significant fraction of a
shared home usually qualifies. Not always; partners who can reach an
agreement along the lines of "those rooms are yours, and it's none of
my business what you keep in them; these rooms are mine, and the
converse applies" may well do just fine.
In the case of me and my partner, we cannot afford enough space to be
able to do that without cutting back on the quantity of stuff at least
one of us has. That makes it each of our business what the other
keeps, to the extent necessary to reach agreement on how to allocate
our joint space.
If you've been able to avoid getting caught between the rock of "how
much space can we afford" and the hard place of "how much stuff we
collectively have", great. Lots of people haven't.
