Maybe Chopin took long walks in the garden every once in an while.

And maybe, just maybe, universally acclaimed musical geniuses are not a good point of comparison for common folk.

Hell, he ran off to Mallorca with George Sand. My impression is that composers work intensely, but manage to find time to do other things.

That's not the comparison as far as I understand it. The analogy is of someone that dedicates all their time to becoming the best at their craft, like Chopin. It's not about being a genius.
