The rich Gulf sheikdoms are a place where the citizens do not really need to work and do not define their worth by their work.

They still struggle with various social pathologies - alcohol, drugs, domestic violence, religious extremism.

I think some people cannot handle a life that is too easy. Arguably, even modern Westerners from richer backgrounds tend to plunge into surrogate struggles or take up very distant causes.

The domestic violence / religious extremism is a result of the Western nations favoring radical Islam interpretations as a base for the regimes they bought their oil from. A kingdom/dictatorship where the ruling class has their assets (i.e. their oil money) in Western nations is more stable for oil supply than a democracy.

In Western nations, people in that situation may join some weird cults instead.
