The (single? childless?) people you know, and yourself, can certainly choose how to spend your time, and nobody is saying otherwise.
I know plenty of people who spend every waking moment outside of work with family and friends, and a side project would mean choosing other things over those personal relationships.
Which, again, you can choose to do. I'm with the GP, though: I've done side projects, and even had one turn into something I sold, but for now I choose to spend time with my friends and family. Any TV I watch, I watch with my family. Any games I play, I play with them. Camping and hiking, I do with them or with friends. Weekend trips I take with them.
