No it's not the main reason, Basiclly the answer is, The lower your profile the more chances you have of getting more cels. "Blackhole collector" is the term known in Japan.

does that mean that it basically goes into the collection and doesn't come back out? Or dissapears like private ? Or both?
Or did I misunderstand completely? ^^;;

Yep, that's largely it. What ever goes into the collection stays there and is never seen again in public.
I also think that there is some of the asian art collector mentality going on with cels. That is, collections of art are meant for viewing only by immediate family and friends. Many asians tend to be conservative and not exhibitionist in public (or so is my observation).
