The Jewish couple also has a huge amount of community and family support that the secular couple has been stripped of.

That's 100% true but it goes back to the same point. The religious couple has that support because they and their family made the choices to stay in proximity. The secular couple may in theory want the same thing but in reality made a very different choice. For example they might identify as "cool ppl who of course want to live in NYC" more than "future parents that want to be close to the family.
Building up community support is a thing you can do too!
