Do you need to code all the time to be passionate? I don't think so. DHH of Rails fame in particular claims to only code 4 hours a day. I think most folks on here would recognize him as a passionate coder. I think its more about how you approach the craft than how many hours you put into it a day. Its also a bit presumptive to assume that because someone is leaving at 5:01 that they won't put energy into coding later. People have kids that need picking up or train or carpool schedules. Stop watching the clock. The clock is just a number on the wall. The office is just a building.
