Your variety of minimalism means people don't buy nice things, which is bad because nice things last longer. Plastic chemically decays, sometimes in harmful ways, whereas wood is a long-term investment if you maintain it properly.
You skipped glass as an option. You can have both a high quality durable material that isn't harmed by a cup at the same time.
Personally I use drink coasters as it means less cleanup, which aligns with minimalism.
Minimizing effort/energy spent is also part of minimalism. Buying 1 thing that saves you cleaning time is okay.
Glass is heavy and fragile, and dangerous when it breaks.
