"A bunch of idiots with too much time on their hands are wasting it by watching some guy do nothing?"
It's spiritual. All these guys think that, since they are lazy as shit, _they_ could have done that! After all, that's mostly what they do all day. Every day. So it's just pure envy.
"Two centuries ago that may have been true, but today people get spoiled by an amount inversely proportional to their own efforts and capabilities. You don't get any benefits and subisidies if you study well and work hard, but if you never finish school you get everything for free."

Hardly, that's the nuclear ones. They don't work when there's an 'incident', when there's a checkup, or in Winter when the river is frozen or in summer when the water is low or when the river is already too hot or...

Sure but lots of people have several passports and lots of countries allow people to change their name when getting their passport, so to better fit in with the local crowd. (read not getting harassed by local foreigner haters)
