To me, physical objects aren't cool because they're scarce. Rather, the inherent scarcity of a physical object, which is more or less completely unavoidable (setting aside 3D printing an object for now), simply makes the urgency for the demand of a physical object greater. The fact that digital objects aren't scarce is what makes them so amazing! The fact that they aren't scarce is something that differentiates them from real things. Introducing scarcity to digital objects doesn't really make sense, because the idea of physical objects isn't to make them scarce because scarcity is a virtue - rather, scarcity is a flaw with physical objects that increases their demand.
