calves are impossible to hit without a machine. Hips too. The ankle straps for cable machines wreck the knee. Plus if you do end up trying to buy a single dual cable machine to replace some moves they only go to 90lbs per cable or 120lbs if you buy the best of the best plus additional weight.
I have a few other things myself that are specific to me. I break standing bags, break heavy bag chains which would also break the beams in a house. I do a full range of motion on abs laying backwards on the HGD and it really targets the bubble gut; no other ab workout replicates a full range of motion. You are doing only about 60% ROM any other way.
Currently in a 2nd floor apt, I need to have a basement or ground level with no lower floor as well. I wouldn't trust 1000lbs of weight + racks and machines elsewhere. I've had machines and ceilings collapse so I'm aware how lucky I've been they collapsed slowly or centimeters away from my face.
Craigslist requires a truck; and a team of movers for large bulky items. So factor that into the cost of each peice if you don't have them already.

-some people have the means and space for a full gym at home
-it isn't that much of a financial investment (in ref to your "$200,000 to invest in a house an gear to replicate a gym" comment), especially when you consider lack of reoccurring charges and zero time wasted traveling from work / home to the gym and back again
-lots of people own a truck and / or a trailer. Or have a friend who they can trick into helping
-a "team" of two people for an afternoon is hardly an insurmountable obstacle
-your use case doesn't automatically apply to the other 8 billion people on earth.
*That being said, I don't disagree this set has utility however it seems like you are projecting a lot into this conversation about everything BUT the deal.
& the guy saying make it work with calisthenics and a 40lb dumbell. That works for lean muscle sure, but if you want mass thats going to take you ages big guy.
