Were those small companies? Where they software (or some other digital work) companies?
We live in a world where companies go to extreme lengths to screw their employees over - everything from paying for overtime to healthcare. It might not be easy to change their mindset.
But I do agree it would be nice if good changes like this are achieved voluntarily, and not through legislation

Where the workforce is abundant, there's no such incentive. This can be inside the same company, e.g. I bet Amazon has different conditions for its senior-position software developers and junior-position warehouse workers.
