Not saying it is you but most people saying they don't have the time also spend hours watching stuff on streaming.
This is definitely the kind of stuff you can do while listening to a podcast, watching a show. Additionally cooking in general is an activity I actually like to do. Give me good music, a nice bottle of wine and I can spend a lot of time in my kitchen.
Activity-hours aren't fungible and have constraints. If I need to eat by 6pm and get home from work at 5:30 pm, I generally can't just choose to swap a 9 - 10 pm hour of streaming with an hour of preparing food.
While some people can level up and perform food-prep activities during the 9-10 pm hour so that the following 5:30 - 6 pm slot can be filled with quick prep, many people don't know how to do so, nor see the ROI for such activity.
One small advantage of kidney donation is that it comes with lifetime screening without some of the gatekeeping normally attached to that. I dunno exactly how it works in the US, but here in Canada you can't just really demand blood tests purely for screening reasons, there needs to be a reason for it. But if you're a donor, your transplant clinic will insist on periodic screening both to monitor for GFR dropping as well as other issues like the ones you mention.
Transplant centres vary for sure (to a surprisingly huge degree), but at least where I am if you do donate the clinic will be watching out for this stuff on your behalf.
Some screenings have gone direct to consumer in the US. Fairly easy to purchase online, make an appointment, then show up for a quick collection.

What is old is new again. The Chicago Tribune writing in 1992 about restaurants naming themselves to get a better listing in the phonebook:

Obligatory critique about Why We Sleep, in case you haven't seen it.

It's unfortunate that he hasn't added a disclaimer to the original post since it is shared so widely.

A formula 1 race car is _much_ faster than a freight truck. However a freight truck can deliver a lot more goods across the country than an F1 car. Which is your big organization optimizing for?
