1/Did you ever come up with a definitive answer? My guess would be "normalcy bias". Same reason firemen found what was left of patrons sitting around tables at Beverly Hills Nightclub after fire. Busboy was one of the few who actually herded ppl to safety.

There are quite different kinds of collapse. People who think collapse is a serious possibility need to explain which kind they mean. Each requires a different strategy and amount of preparation for handling it. For example, starvation conditions require hiding with resources.

A less severe collapse might best be handled by hiding in plain sight with the appearance of being poorer than you are and with good home defenses. Staying in the decayed civilization and functioning in it makes sense if it has a useful but smaller economy.
