I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.
Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.
I get where you're coming from, especially when it's something like OP's post where it's just a bed and some junk. But there's a difference between spartan and efficient. A spartan setup doesn't provide much functionality beyond the basics (sleep, clothing). An efficient setup might take reworking, but it squeezes a multitude of uses into a small to medium sized room.
Crypto isn't bad because it's different and socially divergent, but because it's stupid. It promises to achieve "freedom" but this is only possible for those who are already rich and safe enough to afford buying crypto.
If you compare it with utopian socialism, it has all the same problems PLUS that, so it's objectively inferior. It has all the same problems of "how do we achieve this/bring it about", because rich banks can buy crypto too
Their actual position is "we need to uplift the petit bourg (cryptobros) and not the poor, but also not the people who are richer than me (banks, billionaires)" which means they have no position other than selfishness

Sone would say these occasional fruitless détours are healthy
except that logic is tacitly pro-status quo
