I think the driven entrepreneur crowd tends to overestimate the energy most people have. It seems that whether someone is watching TV, playing an MMO, or maybe just reading, the fact is that a lot of people are very happy spending 5 hours a day essentially not producing anything. It may be increasing the quality of their life more than working extra hours. For some people it may their goal in life to just kick back and watch sports all day. Seems to me my father-in-law would be happiest if he could just read fantasy/SF novels, watch sports, and go skiing all day. Certainly not "productive", but it makes him happy.
