Culture resists change. That’s its role. And it’s all but impossible to force lasting change in a particular direction (see former Soviet republics, for example). If there’s no societal benefit to a change, it won’t happen.
Whether overwork is a forced change or happened spontaneously is a subject for further study. I suspect that it was, initially, an organic response to a societal need. The ultra-wealthy saw an opportunity and took advantage to try and force it even more in their favor. Whether this lasts is anyone’s guess, but my money is that it won’t.

Overworking has no social benefit besides few people getting extra rich yet somehow we are going that way.
