I feel* like having to chase returns in an increasingly expensive equity market is a form of avoiding being a sucker. "Only a sucker" would let cash sit in a bank and let inflation eat away at its value or even invest at risk-free rates.
This is a bit institutionalized, for example, with housing prices. Anecdotally, I know people who make great salaries but can't manage to save up for a place close to work. I was part of that for years until my bitcoin investment solved that problem quick.
The point is that if anything is a moral hazard that encourages avoiding being a sucker, it's this.
