The basic premise of digital nomadism is to earn less then you would otherwise being 'on-prem' (pandemic changes notwithstanding, generally more lucrative careers require at least a certain amount of 'face time'), but have a higher standard of life because you are in a low cost of living region. Things like surfing when you feel like it might be a bot harder otherwise. Agree that flitting about every 3-6 months is not the most efficient way to provide for life's necessities, hence why nomads might struggle in e.g. Zurich, but be fine in e.g. Bali (or Lisbon, before things got crazy).
