>just because financial independence from your spouse is deeply important to you, it might not mater for everyone.

Sure, but we were discussing things that make you wonder about people's plan B, too. In which case I find financial independence sort of vital. What are you going to do if your provider no longer provides, they leave you, die, get fired, whatever...

There tend to be legal options in place for this.

Also, if you are a homemaker you are not "totally financially dependent" the same way a child is. You are contributing to your household just as much as your partner is. I don't disagree that they should have a fallback plan, or at least a way to make some kind of money if the worst happens, but I feel like you're looking at the issue with a level of scorn? (I could be wrong, sorry if I am misreading.) Being "financially dependent" the way a homemaker is, in a household where they and their partner agreed on what each person's contributions would be, is not a thing to be ashamed of. They are pulling their weight.

It wasn't about pulling their weight, I'd just be really neurotic if I did not have my own income, even if lower than my partner. But then we separate finances completely.

As long as you recognize that not everyone feels that way about finances. I'm glad you're able to do what makes you happy and comfortable :)
