I think that masterchef has kind of made people have some funny expectations about home cooking. I don't expect or want the same meals in a home that I do in a restaurant.
Definitely, I reckon this is a big part of it. You see these guys, who aren't professionals but have more skills than your average Joe, and they make impressive meals look simple. We see it all condensed into 30 minutes, so it's easy to forget these guys are working hard and stressing, sometimes for two or more hours, and we go "oh yeah, I'll make that for dinner on the weekend!"

On our honeymoon we had fantastic food. We paid more than we normally would but it was brilliant, and I think you could see the work that had gone into it. It's not simple and we sure did appreciate the chef for that week!
