What a waste of resources.
Instead of passing down generational wealth to their children, boomers are passing down useless junk that does not at all help their kids/grandkids become more financially stable in order to start families of their own.
I can understand the distaste that Milenials/GenX/GenZ have for boomers.

In my locale/state/country/timeline, we have something called an "estate sale".
It's like a garage sale, but there are professionals who specialize in doing all the work for a cut of the proceeds, which is nice if you're drained after your parents pass away.
At least you can recoup 1/10th the value that your parents/grandparents wasted their money. Instead of getting 100k in inheritance to put a down payment on a house you can get 10k and pay of part of a car.

They'll die when the kids are 55, don't need the inheritance anyway. And it ends up being collections of worthless figurines from the 70s.

Their kids might not, but their grandkids/great-grandkids are struggling like hell in the curren housing/job/inflation markets.
