While I agree with your point on it and purity spirals, I don't think they picked it. Sexual achievement is a literal baseline instinct and evolutionary need, our body and hormones literally force us towards it against our will. If they cannot achieve some amount, they can't not think about it.
The closest stopgap is infinite masturbation, but then we open back to the discussion on how porn itself rots the brain in a different manner. And in this case still wouldn't fully help their problem.
Their choice to adopt a certain hatefully, defeatist mindset is certainly chosen, but "being an incel and thinking about women a lot" is a burden thrust upon them by evolutionary pressures. Whereas something like Jews is completely optional.

Being unable to get a woman lead me to hate jews as they're the ones responsible for the sexual revolution in the first place.
