Some people do have compulsive hobbies but that's mostly not sustainable. Of course, casual nights and weekend activities can certainly work as unpaid hobbies and they may even be intensive hobbies for a time. But the reality before people got as widely paid for writing open source code is fewer people spent a lot less time doing it.
