Why would that experience be aspirational? Why should that be the way we want to structure society?

Especially when other western nations show us that university can be free and people can have a rich college experience without that kind of death march.

Other Western nations also don't allow everyone to go to college and aggressively track students into vocational programs at an early age. Not saying that's bad, per se, but implementing that approach in the US would create new and different uncomfortable trade-offs.
