To each their own. Sorry some can't understand different strokes for different folks concept. For me it's not laziness...I'm at the top of the pile and getting to be near as old as dirt. So why would I willingly walk away to swing gear for some 25 year old who has 3 minutes in the industry? I have a cash reserve and can survive a fair chunk of time off (even if I'm financially not quite ready to retire). If I'm going to be an FO for the remainder of what's left of my career I might as well continue making top-of-scale (even if it's Spirit scale) pay and enjoying the QOL that comes with seniority for as long as the checks continue showing up.
Besides, just because I haven't punched out yet doesn't mean I'm not thinking about plans B through D. The fat lady is clearly warming up but she's not on stage yet...
