I should have clarified better. I don't see anything wrong with staying until 8 PM at a startup if you love the work (I could see myself doing that if it was something I was really passionate about). What I have an issue with is the expectation. It was implied in the article that staying late at work was technically "voluntary" (hence the quotes), but in practice, you were expected to fit in with the culture regardless of whether you could or even wanted to.
