As long as nobody gets hurt what does it matter if adults have teddy bears ?

I've just googled and there is a thing called plushophelia!
It's a wet day here so I'm down a rabbit hole!

No, these are grown adults. Perhaps they live alone and the teddies are make believe kids.

Do you mean grown adults? or are these the school teddies that children take home in the holidays, then take pictures to take into school?

Am I wrong in thinking this is odd and eccentric? I have noticed on a photo site I look at , a lot of people who collect teddy bears,as Prince Andrew does, and who seem to include them in everything they do.They take photos of them on holiday, out for meals, doing the shopping, cooking dinner,taking the bus etc. Sometimes 2 or 3 bears accompany them everywhere,have names and are generally treated as real.
