I don't think that's exactly the same situation though. Your comment reads as utilitarian, is that your reasoning for it? The object personification lends to an association of empathy for the object itself. Meaning that maybe the object is a human too and acts as we do

No it's definitely empathy. I feel bad for the object if it's been discarded before it's time (and even when it is time sometimes if it's something I've had for a while)
