Default Original miles "really" matter on a restored car?

Howdy!!

Watching the B.J. over the weekend I noticed more and more that folks are trying to get a premium price on lower mile cars "that have been restored." Or at least they have the miles in big bold #'s printed on the windshield.
I could be clueless. But if a car has been completely restored then does it really make a big difference of how many miles it has??? Sure its a bonus. But everything is now new or like new anyway....
So why would a person pay a lot more for a car like this?
To me, if you are going to focus on miles then it should be unrestored. Then it of course makes a difference IMO.
This is really something that I am not understanding in our hobby and maybe someone can clarify.

Thanks,
