I have two friends who live alone who would definitely prefer a smaller and cheaper apartment. Although this is anecdotal, my experiences has been it’s a cost problem first.

They don’t have the luxury to be concerned about the size of the unit. The basic standard of a place to live within driving distance already consumes their entire budget.
