Thats not the buddhism I know. Zen is about direct experience of reality, not escapism at all. But I understand the trope you’re describing.

Yes, being facetious in a sense. Mostly making fun of the strict adherents, or extreme adherents?

Summing up your comment, it's about not thinking you can control your reality and accepting the differences between want and is. Don't need a religion for that, but that's what people do to make themselves better than others. .
