Because they can afford it.

Because thats how they find right?

If they stop "keep going"... will they ever perfect themselves at home?

Probably not.

But if they "Keep Going" they may find that instructor, that insight, that bit of wisdom that leads them down that path...

The obvious alternative is training with people who have been to Japan recently.

Some perhaps, but many can't truly afford it and only go as a result of sacrifice and perseverance. If you do it right, going to Japan to train isn't "that" expensive. I can't speak for other countries but there is no reason why the average American can't go at least once in their lifetime. All one needs to do is eat in more, stop spending money on other activties a few times a month, collect cans, etc. Oh and there is always panhandling. All the "bums" I see on the way to and from work seem to be doing ok.
