I'm not talking about me and I'm not shitting on anyone. There's just a lot of people detached from the scenario of the average person like you who make these tone death posts.

Go and ask an average worker what hobbies and passions they pursued as kids and why they dont do them now.

Answer will be money, money, money and time.

Go work a 12 hour manual shift and see how inclined you are to pick up your talent of swimming afterwards.

Yep, absolutely agree. Doesn’t even have to be manual. Long hard days at a desk is enough to make you want to go straight to bed when you get home

Even then, you can be motivated to be more efficient with your time, learn other skills to get a better job, or adapt in some way to at least start somewhere.

Have you ever been in that situation? Do you think you could do an hours studying each day after that amount of work?

Not saying you couldn't but I feel that goes beyond motivation. That person is driven by something.
