In principal, yes you are right. However, everyone knew it would end eventually. These people still owe their landlords the money. They will have their credit ruined, have an eviction and not be able to rent again. These are serious consequences. I doubt there’s a ton of people who just chose that for no reason.

And “I don’t want to be homeless” is a good reason to not pay the rent you can’t afford to pay if there’s an eviction moratorium.
I don’t. People can be terrible.
I assume that “people” would also include these landlords you seem keen on defending?
Sure.
