The "we" in that statement fails to account for the millions of people who do, in fact, do these things regularly. This failure to imagine that there are vast numbers of people whose lives are different from the author's is something I see frequently, and it's irritating.

I doubt it's a failure to imagine other lives.
I think it's probably deliberately appealing to people who are miserable and feel helpless to change their lives by, say, leaving their city for a rural life.
Not that it's helping them, but it's addressing them.
The reasons why it's impossible to move to a rural area and be done with it are left unstated.
