I consider myself a rec and I disagree. I purposely don't register for tournaments that are going to last forever (or all the 5 hr late reg bs tourneys) because I don't have the time or patience to sit there all day and all night...I'd much rather come back the next day and finish up.
Also, not everyone can miss a day of work...life changing money is not guaranteed unless it's actually withdrawn and in bank account/btc account etc...most recs are definitely skeptical of withdrawing a large sum from an unregulated online poker site.
