But they no longer have to commute to work (which costs time, or which costs money). They could use that time or money to learn the joys of cooking tasty food, tasty food being one of the few things people of all walks and persuasions can agree is a joyful thing. But they perhaps instead choose to use their free time to play grindy addictive video games, or binge watch Netflix, or consume cannabis, or rage-read political newsfeeds, or get mired in political threads on HN. Why take up music or cooking or reading good books with good friends and why find joy and peace and purpose in life when you can instead wallow in a web-cesspool?
