The question isn't ''why the fuck are we still doing it'', the question should be; Why the fuck are you still doing it? If you hate it so much there's several communities that go several hundred years back in time and live off soil, trading and farm animals and shit. It's probably open to you as well.
Better yet, how about stop thinking about the fucking rat race and care about what you want to do with your life? Fuck that shit, it's bullshit. Do YOU, it's YOUR life. There's easy money everywhere, you just gotta know where to look and who to speak to. Go do some non-profit shit for whatever stuff that interests you, get involved, get contacts and start talking to those people about starting something up. Try it out, just don't put too much money in it or put your living standards at risk. If it works out; COOL. If it doesn't; FUCK IT, try again (you didn't put much money in it, or anything at all, anyways except for time into getting closer to what you want out of YOUR life).
Work for the stuff you want to do if you hate the ''rat race'' so much and stop giving a damn about others do, quality of life is what matters. But it doesn't come to you unless you actually do something about it yourself. There's no such things as having ''made it'', it's just a vague definition stupid people use to compare themselves to others to feel great about themselves. The downside is when the same stupid people do it and feel worse. For some people having made it is having a steady income no matter what job they got, to others it's having a few million dollar house in a rich neighborhood and a multi-million dollar company. It doesn't matter. Compare yourself to you and where you want to be. If you're not happy; stop looking at others for acceptance or feel better about yourself when your despise for it only receives a ''nod'' from your peers. It does nothing. Because if you do that shit you're looking in the wrong places. If these people you saw scurrying around isn't really living, they're looking in the wrong places. The main theme here is; It doesn't have to be you unless you choose it yourself. Use whatever tools you got in your possession and work towards it from the starting point you got now. Only you can do the changes that works for you, just don't sit around and hope some new world war anarchist does it for you only so you can sit down in a corner and say ''this isn't how
I envisioned it...''.
There's alternatives to everything. Stop whining, get your ass up and do something that matters to you. I'm sure it'll be appreciated somewhere. And I'm sure this ''rat race'' you speak of only seem like a horrible thing because you're approaching it wrong. People in general are. You're free to do whatever you want, only you can put limitations on that. If you want to live in the wilderness by yourself no-ones stopping you. You can literally sell everything you have, go somewhere warmer and do that if you don't really enjoy how things are.
And to answer your question: People do it because they're stupid, don't know how, think this is how it's supposed to be, is questioning things because they don't know what they want in this life and/or haven't actually tried going for it and instead went for the safe route of following a set scheme, or is perfectly fine with how things are and are living great lives filled with joy and happiness. Nothing wrong with any of that, but if you want changes in your life because you feel trapped in a cage you can't get out of only you can find they key to get yourself out. Only a fool stands idly by hoping someone else does for it you.
Don't be a fool Masaii, you're good people. Enjoy life, or at the very least do what you can to do just that.
