There is not much to say as for the majority of the traders out there this should be their reality already.

Only a minority of traders can trade as their main occupation, as that will require a great deal of skill on their part and an amount of money so large that it will allow to them to pay all their bills with only a fraction of their profits, and the number of traders that can do that as you can imagine is not very high, so the rest have no option but to look for a second or even a third source of income, that way they can avoid trading when the market is not moving much.

Not only it would require a skill, it requires a dedicated focused time as well, which isn't that easy. This is why there are people out there who trade only for 1-2 hours a day, that's it. Main reason is that if you want to make any money from trading professionally, then you need to be locking your eyes on the screen, and looking at the charts very carefully, even a tiny miniscule information can't pass you without you noticing, you have to see every little dot, every little change, every little action.

This requires an insane focus, and you can't even take a smoke or toilet break. This is why they try to keep it just one or two hours a day, and if you want to do more, you need to take a long break after each one to gain your senses back and to be able to repeat it. I believe that most of the people are just trading for fun, or trading part-time, not as their job because most people cant do this as a job, it is not easy and causes a lot of trouble for a lot of people.

In the end, if we can do something that benefits us, then we need to consider that we are going to be considering the situation to be not easy for most people, it will cause a trouble and we are not ready for that if we are not professionals.
