This is correct and true for all people. The “standard of social acceptability” is actually a very low bar to clear. The fact that some people complain about it just reflects on who they are, because it’s not hard to meet, they just don’t want to try.

Few who behave recklessly think about the consequences in the moment. Hence the recklessness. Tacking on consequences won’t reduce anything. It’s why tough on crime policies don’t actually reduce crime. I’m bot saying there shouldn’t be consequences but those are punitive, not preventive.
