Sure if you can theoretically weave life and work together that's great I suppose , but for some of us that would be exceptionally difficult given our interests and priorities. I can't interweave my ability to sit down and play guitar and piano, swim, go on hour long hikes with my dog, juggle, study Chinese, and write dnd campaigns. These activities are not conducive to your "blended style of work/life". additionally it's all about compensation as well if everyone was working overtime then it sort of normalizes it. As frustrating as you find it, I find it completely baffling that people have such single minded interests that they would choose to pursue just one thing more than 40 hours a week.
