Not having to worry about putting food on the table, preparing it much less preparing it for their own families?

You're over generalizing the whole generation. And yes, they can have complaints. No one person's trauma invalidates another's.
I don't know why you think everyone is paying their way either. Being tail end of Gen X, many of my friends are millenials, and I work with a lot of millenials, and no one is handing them anything. They live with their parents to cut costs, but they still worry about affording rent at their parents, making car payments, making ends meet. Many have children and worry about caring for their children.
You're scapegoating an entire generation.
if you have a pet peeve about "no worries" then have the pet peeve, but maybe try and see how judgmental you are being of them when you don't understand their situation or what they have been through.
