I'll bet a lot of them didn't feel that they had any spare time. What with job, housework, raising kids (and kids are a HUGE time-sink, as I've had occasion to find out!), maybe taking care of elderly parents... it's easy to fall into the mindset that you'll do something for yourself after everything that SHOULD be done is done, and that never happens because there's always something else that you SHOULD be doing.
And watching TV is a huge time-sink too, if you actually watch it (by which I mean that your attention is focused on the TV as if you were seeing a movie in the theater), rather than just having it on in the background. But most people don't think of that as a hobby.
