Another issue is that even with all the advantages listed here, it can still be "hard" to work towards success. You still have to work every day for a time and work long hours if you want to be truly successful (I'm excluding the kids of like multi-millionaires and up). It can feel hard even if you have all the luxuries in the world, and in a way it still is.
The problem is these people can't ever imagine what it's like for someone so much poorer than them, and in their eyes, they struggled pretty hard to get to where they are. It's impossible to imagine what life is like without parents helping financially and without education being paid for.
Right, some people don't realise that for many people hard work doesn't pay. That work being hard is just a matter of life for some people, and it will never lead to easier work, let alone fat rewards. You can can work smart, work hard, and still eat shit at the end of the day.
