I think the norm of an 8 hour workday for salaried employees has more to do with excluding the possibility of your salaried “executives” taking on second jobs than it has to do with productivity.
In other words I think that the 40 hour work week is often structured more as a kind of quasi-indentured servitude than as a factory production shift.
