You're not missing anything. The entire article is a Gen-Zer complaining about the plight of Gen-Zer's with basically no substance to the article. It's written as if "young people" are the only ones affected by high inflation and expensive housing.
I see this attitude from time-to-time in the younger Gen-Z's. There's this belief that somehow life was supposed to be made "easy" for them, and they are wildly offended that life isn't easy.

To be fair, certain things have been made much easier for them.
Sure, getting a house ie even more difficult for ever new generation, but, as an older millennial, I would have killed to have had access to the same mental, acne and dental treatments, that Gen-Z has access to today, and also, to the vast and easy to access community contributed information pool on the internat on topics like emigration, taxes, jobs, financial investment and career advice, dating advice, that's so easy to get nowadays versus 10-20 years ago. It would have made my teenage and adult life much, much easier on all fronts.
