The system is designed that way. Will power is a finite resource, and people get pummeled so hard at work, their need to execute what tiny bit of freedom they can scrape off the world results in their eating a tasty but unhealthy lunch at a chain restaurant to "treat themselves". Our whole society wouldn't function if people weren't exhausted to the point where their brains malfunction and they make bad choices.
Wait till they bring Jira and Agile to your tech job, though. You'll find yourself "needing" expensive toys again.

Still, since I'm in the comfort of my home, and my work is relatively well interfaced meaning I only need to really speak to the backend and product people, the mental drain is so much less compared to the brutality of engaging with the general public.
