It seems unfair to characterize anyone's response this way ("cooped up," "throw away").
People have adjusted to situations that are not ideal. People will have different comfort levels over time, and they will attempt to reconcile those two things. To imply that a life without Sunday brunch is somehow lesser or worse is myopic.

Ultimately people are making compromises and finding ways to live within them. People do this every day, with or without pandemics.
