Please ... The stake is too different.

Jobs like politicians, won't be troubled so much by announcing illness. Stock market may affected to some extent but its not risking so much on the politicians side.

Seiyuu on other hand, to some extent singers, if announcing illness, with some news caught it as voice-related one, is like the first step for having the career crumbling by its own; jobs gone, taken by other voice actor / singer that production comittee won't reconsider of giving the role back.

Look at what happened to Ayumi Hamazaki right now, she won't be able to sing anymore because she chose to keep singing because awareness that she may lose everything the moment she said "I'm hiatus to recover" after people learned its a voice-related illness.

You can go to seiyuu discussion on several anime community and you can see the most informed person in the group won't goes "It must be taking break because tradition" as the stake is too high with the illness said to be voice-related ones.

If they want some break, seiyuu usually not accepting job at some time range like Miyu Irino who took break for studying abroad. Definitely not like what happened at Strike the Blood II where you can hear Kojou and Himeragi talking that production comittee decided to stretch it to the point announcing hiatus rather than moving the whole schedule to other timeslot so it worked as a series like it originally planned.
