I think in the 24th century, people have lives good enough that they usually don't have a huge demand for escapism -- it's probably just television-level escapism. Plus, holodeck technology is apparently very new in early TNG -- it would make sense for it to be something developed for Starfleet officers to cut down on shore leave. The Federation doesn't have a market-based economy, after all.

Is it really described as new in TNG? Because it was around in some form in the Animated Series.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not new technology in TNG, it's new to have them as standard issue on starships.

We know there's at least two people on the Enterprise-D who use the Holodeck in unhealthy ways because they're unsatisfied with their lives (Barclay and Geordi), and those are people who are traveling around the galaxy doing crazy shit all their time.

Well, sure, but I didn't mean it as a blanket rule, just that that's maybe why it's not a BIG problem like the OP said. Like, you know how rates of alcohol abuse go up when the economy is bad? That doesn't mean that when the economy is good, everyone stops being alcoholic, just that the rates go down. So I was just guessing that maybe in the 24th century, standards of living are good enough that there wouldn't be as big an impetus for Holodeck addiction as there would be now.
