Many things improve but go down in price. Can't articulate fully but it instinctively feels like a rationalisation rather than a reason.

It's basically an early bird discount.

When has that not been a marketing tactic

A mid-life crisis is about impending old age and death

And lack of meaning/purpose.

And how many people undergoing a mid-life crisis devote their time to architecture or mathematics?

Plenty of mature students at universities. In the series it's just asserted that people do these things. It's not explored.

snide quip

"succinct description"

As another poster asked, how would you live if you were able to choose?

I think I have more meaningful choice in this world than a human living in the culture so not an interesting question.
