A borderline psychotic work culture is probably a big factor, even if you can find a spouse you'll never have time for them.
Bosses expect you to go out drinking with them after work is over, often taking up hours of someones time. There is no time to do anything but sleep when you get home. There is a rather famous case where a Japanese man refused to do the 'mandatory socializing' after work and his job tried to actively punish him for it calling him anti-social, and a japanese court had to step in.

Many people work or party with the boss so late they don't even make it home. They sleep in the city in one of their capsule hotels: https://www.criatives.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/9-hours-capsule-hotel-07.jpg
Literally a pod home like what the WEF wants for everyone.
