If you were a TV fan, watching workday evenings, then indulging more at the weekends could carry you up to that the average. People watch a lot of TV, it's the default entertainment. I recently (before lockdown) casually asked a colleague, someone I like and admire in their professional life, "Hey, what do you like to do when you're not at work?" After looking mildly anguished for a few moments, he eventually allowed that he enjoys watching the Formula 1 races. (i.e. a few hours at weekends, not every weekend) He was noticeably cool with me since - I'm worried the question, or rather the realisation that he couldn't answer it, offended him. I can't prove my colleague has the TV on for hours a day, but I'm pretty certain he does. If he was reading novels or doing crosswords or walking the dog, it would be a hobby. Putting the TV on until you're sleepy isn't.
