I'm surprised that this factor doesn't come under scrutiny more -- contemporary society is not one designed to facilitate enjoyment, but to facilitate work. Functionality rather than elegance, the bare minimum rather than opulence -- all of these serve to tell us: Don't get too comfortable here; it really isn't worth your time; keep movin' along.
Adapation to the condition of being a work-slave is really facilitated by the lack of deep enjoyment offered by other facets of life.
Most contemporary facilities are designed to be enjoyed only superficially.
