The thing he doesn't mention is all the people burned out by 35, with the best years of their life behind them, coping with deep and lasting psychological damage that will affect them for the rest of their lives, and nothing to show for it (except, if you're lucky, a bit more money).

The business model of his company is built on the backs of those people. The more of those people he can attract, the richer he becomes (to a first approximation)

The fetishisation of work does seem to largely come from people with enough money that they and at least several generations of their progeny will never need to do it.
