the amount of people thinking their personal experience being different equals "unpopular opinion" is baffling.

Many people dislike their jobs and dream of a world where they can sit on the beach and do <insert hobby here> all day. Having actually done that, it gets old surprisingly fast. It takes a couple of weeks before you want to do something productive again.

You pretty much summed it up yourself. For you, work is your purpose, and that's why time off feels empty. But other people find their sense of purpose outside of a job, through hobbies, family, volunteering, creative projects, etc. That's why they can see a job as "just a paycheck" without feeling lost when it's gone. Different sources of meaning, different reactions.
