At what point in a relationship are you addressing those issues? Seems like you'd be deep enough into the relationship that those issues are no longer deal breakers but become built-in points of contention that you continually sort through. Deal breakers only work early on.
Arguably the fact that it's become the norm to mess around with each other for months or years without entertaining the sort of commitments that suss these things out is part of the reason millennials struggle to commit at all

Sure, that might be one reason, but the heavier lifting is probably done by socioeconomic or psychological reasons, e.g. not being able to afford a home and start a family, or developmental stunting from social media use, respectively.

Not reflected in the data, and IMO not particularly explanatory.

Truthfully, all of these things can be dealbreakers after any amount of time. Familiarity without baseline value alignment breeds contempt. Nobody wants to have to choose between acting in accordance with what they value most and betraying that to avoid having their life explode.

True, I just think deal breakers are trying to run a regression on variables in a complex system. I don't think it's that clean. I've had what I thought was a deal breaker end one relationship end up being an attractive quirk in another.
