It's definitely meant to be deeper than "everyone has their own problems" and the theme was not meant to be just a fun show. Mike White was very prupsoful with the theme.

Such an approach highlights the central themes of wealth and colonialism, challenging how the privileged class can afford to behave carelessly, and the burden this places on marginalized groups and the working class.

This is important because it supports one of the main themes in The White Lotus: the notion that the working class is powerless against the entrenched mechanisms that unequally distribute wealth. it's designed this way precisely to highlight the horror of contemporary western class stratification.
