Different companies have different cultures. The <2 year old startup I work for has 8 hour workdays and people commonly take 30-60 minute lunches if they want.

Different companies have different cultures. The <2 year old startup I work for has 8 hour workdays and people commonly take 30-60 minute lunches if they want. No one cares as long as you are productive and get your stuff done. I get there at 10:15 and leave at 6:00 everyday.
Incredibly, some people (mostly business/marketing, not engineering!) still make themselves work through lunch and stay later. No idea why, but I and others are able to leave after 8 hours so it doesn't affect me.
"9-5" may be rare, but it exists.

No idea why, but I and others are able to leave after 8 hours so it doesn't affect me. Because the deal for us engineers is that there's not enough of talent and companies fight for people. We're doing the same you described in your post, except the business/marketing have short lunches and work late. There's many people waiting to take their place, where you must spend great effort to hire a good engineer.
