Freelancing is one thing but a comparing it to owning a company with employees is very different.
I have no numbers but what I've seen from people owning businesses with employees (or even alone) in various fields none are stopping at 40 hours a week. That is in Sweden.
EDIT: Just for fun I googled some and found an article where they had made a poll in a magazine about small business owners. The distribution was:
Less than 30h 7,5%
31-35h 2,3%
36-40h 6,5%
41-45h 10,5%
46-50h 14,9%
51-55h 13,9%
56-60h 15,8%
61-65h 8,0%
66-70h 7,1%
71-75h 3,4%
76-80h 3,9%
More than 80h 6,2%

I don't know what the relative distribution is, but think HN readership plausibly has a particular view of "starting a company" which is not very reflective of that distribution...
