Human beings also waste energy on frivolous things, recreation is not generally a trait shared by most animals - yet humans spend a fair amount of time just doing nothing productive or required for our survival. The same is true for work, while many people are forced to take whatever job they can to survive - there's no reason they wouldn't choose to punch a clock because they enjoy it. I wouldn't mind working less, but I love what I do, I get a sense of pride and accomplishment out of it - if it weren't required for my survival I wouldn't suddenly stop.
