All the other famous guitarists that I've seen sell off a few dozen guitars they no longer need have all had nice, vintage stuff, some of which sells for a good 5 or 6 figure sum.
I don't get it.

I suspect that the family kept some of the prize vintage pieces that he owned, and probably a whole bunch of this stuff was given to him in hopes that he would fall in love and launch their brand through endorsements. I see a handful of Sadowskys that were all very nice custom guitars. He also had quite a few Dr Z amps. I wouldn't mind owning his Dr Z Mazerati or the P90 Sadowsky.
Becker was a fairly unique player with eclectic tastes and a passion for experimentation. None of this surprises me.
