> What is left? Literally every other social activity one engages in?

This implies one has energy and resources for social activities. A big chunk of the US is broke and/or exhausted at the end of the week.

For millennia, most people weren't busy sustaining the family during ~all waking hours and year round (all the while living 1 not-rare event away from homelessness).
