Honestly, I don't know if I'd blame them.
Japanese society, particularly with regard to sociological structure has a lot to be desired.
Recruiting practice heavily centered to "new graduates" (which means if you don't get hired in the year you are graduating, you are screwed.)
Even if you do land on a job, then unpaid overtime being norm rather than exception.
Across the field, quality of output from any jobs in Japan are insanely high compared to many of countries; and basically workers end up paying the cost of that. (and many of them involving unpaid hours and over the top expectations) And I can certainly understand people exhausted to end up in the state of "Hikikomori."
It is a nice place to visit, but living there can be tough...
