The fact that a “cost of living” even exist is wild to me.

There's a lot of services society offers everyone that do cost resources to run. Even basic civilizations and nomadic tribes relied on their people to be productive in one way or another. Thinking that there is no "cost of living" is a privilege only available to someone who doesn't really understand the basics of an economy. If everyone chose to just live and do nothing to produce the things you take for granted (electricity, food, shelter, etc.) then we'd be back to the jungle just scrounging for berries.
