I rarely see owners at Superchargers "wasting their lives". They tend to use a bathroom, take a little walk, shop in the mall, grab a coffee/snack, check some emails, take a nap, read a book etc. It seems to be an enjoyable break from hyper efficiency.
People charging at home are also kind of wasting their lives, watching TV, taking a nap, reading a book, etc.
Every owner makes their own personal decisions on how to use their time. Hard to come down on an owner that uses a local supercharger to juice up their cars.
Best case of all is that owners with Solar can run on Sunshine. People in low cost electric areas can justify charging conveniently at their home.
Strange case is where owners are on tiered utilities. Their first tranch of power is relatively cheap, but if they go over that amount their prices almost double. If they go into 3rd or 4th tranches they pay very expensive rates. For those people I can see how stopping at your friendly local Supercharger can make a bigger difference.
This is why I tend not to spend a lot of time judging people about how they live their lives. Their lives might be very different from my own.
