This is legit something I try to explain all the time to people. The answer ultimately is as simple as “life is not fair”.
This is also the same logic as to why I automatically dislike people who happen to just fanboy for famous people in general. That basketball player you idolized might not have the slightest clue about economics… So looking to them for economic-based political views doesn’t really make sense.

There is always skill involved to some extent but overwhelmingly we disregard how much luck is the true deciding factor.
Once it comes down to “life is not fair” I often find that Capitalist realism best describes the headspace they’re in.
