Carmack falls into the old fallacy of "This is my experience so it must be everyone elses experience too". Just because obsession is fulfilling for him and he manages to make it work, it doesn't mean it's fulfilling to others. And yes a lot of people don't care about their work, that is the reality of the world. Most people aren't priviledged enough to have the opportunity to work on their passions. The average person needs more free time to themselves, to recharge, to self actualize, it's not about being "lazy", different people have different values and society would be better off respecting that fact. It's easy to give your life to work if you have ownership of that work like Carmack does...
