I don't even think he even considers it as "sacrifice" though, as he just drop the idea without any hesitation and regret, it's not like he's acting out like a kid.
Also, is it the trend nowadays that people try hard not to give any compliment for people doing the correct and nice things trying to be the edgy "I'm better than you all plebs"?
Like, even if a waitress's job is bringing the food I ordered to my table, I'll still say "Thank you" for them, because when you don't appreciate nice thing people do for you, you'll take everything for granted.
