What is the functional difference between destroying an artifact and keeping an artifact in a private collection where nobody can see it, from the point of view of humanity?

That being said, at least with the "private collection" thing it has a chance to be donated to a public institution at a future point. eg when the collector passes away Destroyed objects clearly don't have that option.
