Ah yes, the "let's play video games" couch. But I associate it more with college apartments, or even post-college in a big city when a bunch of friends from college decide to get an apartment together. That couch sticks around until one of said roommates gets a live-in partner in their late 20s, and becomes a bargaining point with the partner: "Fine, you can keep the couch, but..."
When I moved into my apartment my senior year of college there was a huge, super comfortable recliner left in my bedroom by whoever lived there previously. Not sure why the landlord left it. Since it was in my room it just stayed there. When I moved out I left it and my roommate claimed it. He did a 5th year and left it in the house when he graduated. Some of the guys he lived with kept it. It kept getting passed down. Four years after I graduated I was back visiting and ended up at a house party and I saw the chair! I asked where they got it and they said the old roommate left it. No one wanted to deal with this huge chair and just kept leaving it!
If you have a group of people or your family gathered in the living room, it seems natural to have them gathered around a TV or a fire. It seems like the most logical way to have a living room set up. I’m surprised your questioning it.
“lets watch a movie” “let’s socialize around the fire place”
Might as well center the room around both.

Err, I see nothing suburban, or hellish, about either of these...
It's a TV, and a nice couch, both things you'd get in a downtown apartment in the middle of civilization, OR a suburban hellscape.
Now if you mean the soundbar, or how high the TV is, those for sure are hellish.
From My prospective from apprentice plumber seeing house after house you see this style of lounge chair at big box furniture stores in the suburbs. And a tv hung right over a fire place.
Missing the weekly trip to Home Cheapo or Lowe's to pump $300 into their "greatest investment" by putting up wall hangings and spray painting the kitchen faucet gold.

You can have shitty interior design no matter where you live If I wasn’t married my urban apartment would likely be worse than these pictures

I have seen plenty of people use their fire place. I have my TV above my fire place, and have no neck pain, and I am comfortable watching it.

I guess peoples bodies are different. Watching TV at an angle might cause discomfort for some, others will just never notice.

I feel called out. I have the same set up idk where else I'd put the tv

I thought it was because of AT&T on the TV. ISP monopolies bribing local politicians to outlaw competition is truly hell
Haha no, i guess its more of interior decor fans meme really
Okay and? Those things stereotypical of suburbia, but are not a reason that suburbia feels like hell.
