she wrote a book about how her husband's gift of a corset transformed her life and turned her into a gracious Victorian lady...except that the book is apparently full of ungracious jabs at women who don't share her love for Victoriana. Not very gracious, if you ask me.

But otherwise, I tend to agree with you. Yes, she's chosen a slower lifestyle that requires a substantial commitment in time and (at least up front; I don't know about the long run) money. Some of the posters on this thread have labeled this the act of someone who's "massively privileged and with too much time on her hands." But the same could also be said of the rather sizable fraction of fandom people who spend 20 to 40 hours a week on TV, social media, gaming and fic. But just imagine the tremendous howl of outrage that would go up to heaven if you did! People are massively hypocritical about stuff like this: "HVDU judge me for how I spend my discretionary time and money...but I'm going to side-eye the fuck out of the way this other person spends their discretionary time and money!"

Oh gosh, I didn't realize the book thing. :( That's disappointing.

But yeah, I prefer the live-and-let-live approach to hobbies. If no one's forcing their hobby on me, who the hell cares what they do for their own? She seems really happy doing it. It's her passion, it doesn't matter how accurate or not it is.
