In the West there’s a 40-hour work week. In China there’s 996. In Japan you don’t go home til your boss does - even if you hardly see your family.
Each society has norms that stop people working even more than they otherwise would. Everyone converges on that amount of work, regardless of productivity.
If you want to work less, you need to get everyone else to work less.
