I can’t speak for other nations, but the US has a puritanical hangover we just can’t shake. Work - and only certain kinds of work - are directly tied to morality. The hour you wake up is tied to morality (we aren’t farmers dammit let me sleep until 8 or 9am!)
It’s very difficult to make meaningful change to things that are intertwined with morality. You have to exert an enormous amount of effort disentangling them before you even get to work. Because you simply can’t convince people to do a thing they inherently think is immoral, at least not nationwide.
