Revenge procrastination is, as the article says, a symptom of poor emotional regulation. Our emotions push us towards having leisure/entertainment 24/7 but that is obviously not healthy even for the financially independent. Simultaneously, there is an ever-expanding universe of things to experience/study/engage with so there will always be reasons to feel that your obligations are causing you to miss out on life. So the emotional regulation is about accepting that you won't be able to do everything in life and making conscious decisions and sacrifices about what is important to you.
Uncharitable take:
Any article about revenge procrastination that doesn't include a call to action about legislating massive PTO minimums or a 30-hour workweek is an element of the ongoing class war. Convince labor that their struggles are internal and they'll never organize against you. That there is little political will to expand workers' rights or benefits suggests that capital is in a dominating position in the battlefield of public opinion.

As always, the truth is somewhere in-between.
