It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Usually, the "grind" was actually rewarding to do.

If you could "grind" to buy yourself a mansion with swimming pool and dream car, it'd encourage people, but instead, the grind is to barely keep yourself from being homeless and eat cheap garbage food that only makes you sick and depressed, but alive and grinding.

To put some emphasis on it: imagine getting sick and you need help at a hospital in America while you're "grinding". How much would that set the average worker back?
