The one you own serves a different purpose. The rental ones take one a bit of the way (from Subway station to office etc.) or one way (to the bar, get drunk, taxi/public transport home)

Doing that with your own one has downsides as you have to carry it along all the time.

I mean sure, owning it obviously has a lot of cons. But it also has a lot of pros:

- You know when you pick it up that it's going to function well, because you maintain it

- You know it isn't going to have sticky handlebars because the last person to use it was eating a candy bar

- You know it'll be charged, assuming you keep your devices charged
