I agree with you for the most part, but there definitely is a toxic extreme of "hustle culture", in which people believe the sheer amount of "hard work" is the only coefficient.

All things in moderation.

There is an extreme amount of entitlement and apathy in the US today as well.

So while extreme "hustle culture" is bad, and working yourself to death is very bad, the idea that you might have to "work Saturdays" in your 20's to get ahead also should not be considered an "extreme" position.

But to many people working even 40 hours a week is considered "too much work", being away from facebook for more than 2 hours is a burden, etc.
