also my vague sense is that people who make good choices are ~relatively~ private about them (since it typically invites negative scrutiny if you come across as bragging) – which leads to "most utterances are complaints or complaint-adjacent"

This is strongly cultural, actually. Norwegian culture is anti both, for example. Polish culture hates bragging and holds whining sacred. Etc.

Not how difficult our lives are; that's considered pretty tasteless. I always get a bit of cultural whiplash on that topic when returning home.
There's a lot of snark & black humor, though. Sort of less obnoxious version of British banter.
