Maybe they have a job they genuinely like?

Didn’t say it’s wrong, said I don’t get them, I don’t get being identified with a job either, are choices, point of views, I relocated to live in 5 different cities in the same time span, met many different people, for me that counts, job is job

You don't have to identify with your job, maybe just kinda like it. Also, making new friends gets harder at a certain age. It works but it doesn't feel the same as having a friend you know since high school or college.

Also making your family, esp kids move every few years sucks really hard for them, never being able to build their circle of friends.

Not everybody wants to go through life as a tourist.

Didn’t say it’s wrong

No, just that "it’s a wasted life".

And for others having roots, and not just meeting different people like a tourist only to dispose and move on in a few years, but building deep relations with people, is what counts.

To be frank, it sounds like novelty seeking to avoid deeper commitments and more substantial development. Of course if one is young (say <= 30) it can also be fun.

If job is job then you might as well stay at one

Finding one that would allow me to move around yeah

People are different.

You like to move place to place and meet people. Some like to stay in one place, meet people occasionaly and spend more time with their family, hobby (sometimes you can't really take your hobby with you), camp in the wild with your dog etc.
