For some older folks, that's basically the only thing they can do anymore. It's just that and church(for most where I was from) until holidays role around. If there aren't kids/grandkids to visit, or they are unable to/don't want to, there just really isn't that much to do. It's also something to do with your parents when you are an older teen or young adult. Its very unlikely to backfire, and doesn't take too long. Sorry if I'm getting too defensive, this one is just a bit personal.
No, I get it, I'm just still kinda shocked at it. People (not just old folks) aren't looking forward to enjoying the book they're reading, or meeting friends for a walk outside, or the skill they're learning or the podcast series they're listening to or whatever. People are looking forward to going to the supermarket during a pandemic when there's free delivery available because that's the stimulation they've been conditioned to need.
As societies, our horizons have been narrowed and that makes us easily controlled.
