The answer of why is profound. It is because they were not invested in the effort so they aren't appreciative of the harvest.
This is what will make you happier and a better person when your WA ship comes in. You worked hard for the reward, so you will cherish it and appreciate it more.

Close your eyes for 60 seconds and think about what it will be like when you start reaping what you sow here at WA. Will it change your life? Will you be able to help others?

That is the true reward for hard work.
