Others have mentioned gifts and roleplaying games, but also businesses need art. Clip art, logos, decorative stuff. There’s always something delightful about finding small stores that do window murals, or novelty gas stations, or just stores that take some extra considerations for aesthetic.
Eg - part of Buccee’s is that beaver logo. It would not be the same at all without that logo and the beaver statues.
For sure it’s “required” - but sometimes “want” does enter the picture. A lot of classic Americana and Route 66 aesthetic was motivated to sell people shit, but it’s also pretty fun.

corpo art is another deal though. nobody wants it, it’s just required.
