To answer your question/title, they don't, because if they make a game specifically catered to people with a life, then the game wouldn't be Destiny, it'd be Apex (or games like Apex), games that have no real meaningful progression system, games where you can leave for 6 months, come back, and maybe there are some new fun classes available, but ultimately you're still on the same level playing field as those who've been playing nonstop. In other words, there are plenty of games out there for people who have jobs, kids, and responsibilities outside of the game. It's pointless to complain about this particular aspect of the game (i.e. that certain activities may take too much time that you don't have), because ultimately, it's a game that isn't meant for people that don't have a lot of free time, that's not the demographic Bungie is developing for. Knowing this, it's then up to you to make a choice to reluctantly continue playing (and complaining about) the game, or, play something that better fits in with your available time. As for your comments about Whisper and Outbreak quests... Yes, they're awesome, but clearly not every activity can be made up to those standards. It takes a lot of time and resources to design places and activities like that, all for one short questline that people will never need to do more than a few times (vs activities people will have to do over and over for weeks and months to come). I'll bet whoever had the idea for the Whisper questline really had to sell it at a meeting to get it approved and be allowed the time and the team to get it done when there are so many other unfixed issues with the game. Just my 2c.
