That's a good one. Another reason is confusing work with being busy. Working is a productive activity with quantifiable outcomes. Being busy surely creates an impression of working, but it does not necessarily lead to productivity.
I think the controversy around “hard work” mostly comes from a failure to understand that “work” isn’t a sacrifice for some people - it’s a calling. There are exceptions, but a “workaholic” is often just what people call someone whose hobby also happens to be work.https://twitter.com/jasonlk/status/1176931222141849600 …

This has happened recently 2x. I got the question ‘what are your hobbies outside of work?’. I found it hard to answer (aside from ‘kids and family’), and felt weird about that.

That certainly can be true for some people, but for many people working that much for their entire life, not just for a season, is due to misplaced meaning on significance of work. You should read The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy.
