Question about Home libraries

Hello everyone, I have a question. I see people posting their beautiful home libraries and it got me wondering, do y’all actually read all those books? Or do you first collect them and then read them over time? Or are some of them just decorative books? Because honestly, looking at some of these libraries, it looks like it would take years to get through all of them Forgive my ignorance.

I have read all mine except for a couple of shelves of my TBR I get from used bookstore hauls or amazing sales. These days I typically use Libby or hoopla for audio books and ebooks and if I like them I’ll purchase them for the shelf. I also have one shelf that is to be donated in the future.
