Everyone lives in their own bubble. Sounds like your bubble consists of people who are either too broke for travel, more focused on their high-stress jobs, or just lack interest in travel.
I'd imagine most people here working well-paying jobs in tech living in cities like NYC/SF probably go on more than one vacation per year. In Europe, people get 1-3+ months of vacation, and it's very cheap to travel within Europe.
It's pretty sad if one doesn't spend more than 2+ weeks per year on vacation, unless one really enjoys their work that much, which I imagine probably is not the case for most employees.
