Again, you're focusing on the abnormal, rather than the normal, just like the parent.
You come across these people because they spend a much larger amount of time than normal people.
It's a basic consequence of simple stats that are very easy to misinterpret, and that's my point.
I also happen to know many people through world of warcraft who live on their parents money, have no urge to win their own, simply live on little and have been playing for years now. They are not picking up new skills or doing something social.
I rather hope that someday money will be enough of a problem to motivate them to deal with their issues or just do something with their life, than keep things the same and hope for a change.
