Probably because for some people it's not possible to have both. I could theoretically afford a modest single-family home if I chose to scrimp and save for the next 30 years or so, but I certainly wouldn't be doing much on the side in that scenario. So instead, if I live in a one-bedroom apartment or even a bachelor, I can also afford a few more experiences in life, same with not owning a car.
