It makes them feel safe and powerful to be in control of so many things that they can arrange just the way they like them. They draw more power because hoarding makes the junk more important than any family or people they live with. They're kind of narcissistic/self-centered in that regard. Hoarders are control freaks even though it appears their residence is out of control.
