That is a good point. If you don't need to deal with everyday people to socialize, you don't have to adapt your behaviour to the mean expectation of what is proper and not. I remember reading an interesting socialist argument once, that this is historically unique because capitalism allows people to reduce social relations to that of monetary exchange. As long as you can pay your bills and buy what you need, nobody can complain. It is this perspective that people who retort with "Why do you even care?" implicitly hold, that I am not a fan of.
