I've done a variety of different jobs in my time, and standard dev work (in a corporate environment with managers and pretend-agile and JIRA etc) is by miles the most stressful, confusing, complicated, bullshit-ridden job I've ever had in terms of day-to-day experience. It's also the most well paid – that's what evens it out. It's not that all jobs/industries are equally frustrating (which is obviously untrue, to anyone who has worked in more than one industry).

The 'objective comforts' you get at some places, if you mean stuff like pingpong and free beers and lunchtime yoga, are sticking plasters that don't actually get much take-up. The only real 'objective comfort' is the high pay, which makes the rest of your life more comfortable, but doesn't make the day-to-day experience of the job any less frustrating, hence developers 'burning out' so often.
