I think you are confusing people saying how beatable 1/2 and 1/3 games are with people saying they live a lavish lifestyle off of their low limit casino winnings.
There is absolutely no doubt that $1/$2 (1$/$3) games are easily beatable for 5-10 BB an hour. Easily. However this doesn't mean people are living large off of it. Far from it.
There are millions of "regular" people who spend lots and lots of money on their hobbies. Whether it is video gaming, bowling, hunting, fishing, quilting, gardening, whatever. People spend money doing things they "enjoy". Lots of people "enjoy" playing poker. They do it for fun. They do it as a diversion from their regular life. It is a hobby, nothing more.
Better to have a hobby that adds money to your bank account than one that drains it.
$1/$2 or $1/$3 is easily beatable even after rake. Not enough to live a baller lifestyle, but enough to be regularly profitable.
