I don't think it is that people is scared of social consequences as much as
there is not anything to gain from getting involved in serious relationships,
and increasingly more to lose.

Frankly, how many women would want to live with a farm guy whose idea of fun is
canning vegetables? And of those, how many are actually worth the time of the
farm guy?

That is the real problem, these days so many women aspire to live the Instagram
lifestyle and if providing that to them does not fit your schedule they will
dump you as soon as they find somebody who will.

My experience is that people who is not approaching girls are people who is
conscious of this at some level and they are not willing to sell out for pussy.
I know of an extreme case in my inner social circle: young man with well paid IT
job, his own house (which is huge here) and an active life... he is one of the
few men women are willing to ask out actively. He usually answers with a rude
version of "I am not interested" (my favorite is "Not with you, space bug!"
When we talk about the subject he is very clear that he is not willing to bend
his life goals around a girlfriend.

And that is the problem. When you are at the top 15% a girlfriend represents a
huge opportunity cost because the time you spend with her is time you are not
growing your finances AND you are also risking your finances very badly at the
same time. If your lifestyle requires a very specific person to enjoy you are
also guaranteed not to get the gal you like no matter how much you are willing
to bend so there is no point.
