I think there is this setup period when parents do things for their kids and the rate of things decay as we get older, more lazy and less enthusiastic.
Covid just made the middle age boring happen earlier, which people blame on their kids normally, for a generation and they didn't recover.
Pubs have raised the price of a normal beer 2x where I live since pre-covid. The pub culture, which was allready weak, is not coming back any time soon.
