| https://www.bricklink.com/v3/myCollection/main.page seems yet to be entirely
a private list. A setting would be nice to let me publish this collection, so
other users (or even guests) are also able to view it.
Otherwise I'm not sure about the practical use to compile such a list at
all. At least for users (for Lego such lists may have a value).

Over the years on BL there had been consistent calls from members without seller
status, to share the same ability in maintaining inventory, sellers enjoyed.
I can only guess the “My Collection” feature was created in answer to those years
of prompting, without considering it's further usefulness or full potential?

That said, why not as you say, expand the features usefulness...

This is a primarily a marketplace. Why do you need to tell other people what
you have in your collection? If a non-seller can publish a list of items they
own, it could lead to sales from that list outside of the proper marketplace.

In the secondary sense this site is about enthusiasts - there are users who might
want to compare/show lists to others, without any marketing interest or indirect
advertizement attempts. An inventory list where all items are (by default) not
for selling. In tertiary terms parts of such a list can then at any time become
available for purchase.

Erm, are you sure you wish to list what you have?

Otherwise doesn't rebrickable do this?
(I've an account there but never used a feature realted to what I could
own, so I don't know..)
Much more, you may use BrickStore, free and open source, like many (I'd say)
people in the LEGO passion, and share your file(s) to chosen friends...

Within just the past 24 hours there have been two threads from sellers asking
about being contacted via bricklink and dealing off bricklink. Allowing non-selling
users to show others what they have on a marketplace site will almost certainly
lead to more of that behaviour.
If you wantbto show off your collection to others then use a public brickset
list, or put photos on Flickr or videos on YouTube.
