ELI5: Why do people choose to lease a car that they will never own? You pay a couple grand down payment, make monthly payments - just like buying your own car...but you never get the satisfaction of paying it off and actually owning it. I don't get it?

I'll share one philosophy - 

Some people don't want to own a car.  They want a "new" car every 3 years.  So they lease a top of the line model and a few years later they get a new one.

Not everyone seeks the satisfaction of owning a car.  Many people are perfectly happy to give it back in exchange for a new car and a new lease.
