It's worth living in Japan if you can control your work schedule, by working for a remote Western employer that may not know nor care that you're outside the West, or by having your own startup and product. Otherwise I'd agree.
Yes, those are the only circumstances I'd recommend for staying in Japan, but they're only short term (1 year or less.) Working holiday is also nice if you're young. I met a few people working in hostels doing it, obviously doesn't pay much but gives you a place to sleep and a means to stay in the country for a while.
