This is a convenience afforded to you because A - you have plenty of housing available to you that is affordable and you can live apart and enjoy your space.
B- you don't have children
C - You don't have a need to combine income so you can have the resources needed to survive
These three options A, B and C do not apply to the majority of the population, even in the United States. Many people in Silicon Valley cannot live like this. They need the help of a partner to pay rent, care for children or simply someone to pool resources with. If there is no way to live together, it becomes a huge blocker to progressing in life. A lot of young people in America are surviving on the pooled resources lifestyle. If its not with a partner, they pool resources with parents.
The first words in my comment were "aside from the financial aspect" and I pointed out that this becomes more complicated if the couple intends to have children.
