You're right, there are definitely people who choose a specific lifestyle willingly and by all means let them do so.
We shouldn't assume it applies to anyone just because it applies to some indivuduals though.

Sometimes (although far less often than some people would like to assume) the person who withdraws is perfectly capable of handling the demands we force on people in our society, but they simply prefer to not participate. These people usually aren't sitting around all day collecting welfare checks, often they are the career homeless or living in isolated shacks in mountains. I can't really fault them if that kind of lifestyle is actually preferable to them.
