You are welcome to rent it out for profit on your third if you think it’s such a good idea.
To me 1/3 the capital exposure on something I would never use more than a third the time seems like a good trade off.
Heck a third the capital exposure is probably less than a year or 2’s depreciation anyway in normal times.
Seasonality of use is easily factored into the allocation formula, none of this is rocket appliances.
