I'm not sure why this is so different now than, say, 20 years ago.
It seems people are a lot more scared of things in general than
they used to be. Maybe that translates into more scared spouses,
and as a result less active pilots.

Heck yeah! Shoot, now days, people are afraid to fart. Fear of destroying
the ozone, or not being politically correct, or starting a fire, or of being
sued. Too many lawyers, and judges allowing frivolous law suites!
