For some folks having sobriety and a job is a great life compared to waking up sick. Finding serenity and not having to worry about legal troubles, job troubles is a great life. Not dealing with judges, courts, ankle scram bracelets, not having probation officers, mandated rehabs... I can think of a great deal worse things than going to a meeting a day.
I don't go to a meeting every day but I did do 6months of meetings daily and then I maintain with 2-3 meetings a week. If I felt like I needed one daily because I enjoyed the format, I met with friends or I wanted to help someone else out that was new to the program I probably would go. Getting sober has some choice, we all get to choose if we get sober, when we get sober and what our program will be. I am not going to judge how someone else finds sobriety. I think 22 years is awesome and he found something that worked for him.
