Bankroll
I think it has something also to do with your personal bankroll. I mean, I do not have lot's of money to throw on the tables, I have a mortgage, a wife, and two daughters. I only earn $40,000 a year and my wife $32,000. So, it looks like $50 a month is what I can spend on poker in a bad streak. So I, would not be playing the same way on a $50 + 5 or even $20 S&G as someone that deposits $500 a month. I know that you have to go to the higher levels to not get rivered and so on. Good advice; but I think most players can't afford that. It's just like telling people in the desert, why don't you just move out to a better place. Well, it's all they know and all they can afford.
Hopefully one day or with hard work and dedication, one can move up to the next level. I wouldn't mind getting a 1 hour luck streak and making in to the final table at a multitable of $1 entry. That is where you will see me most of the times; at least this year.
