I’ll offer some speculation with no data to back it up: quality of life is good enough that after a certain threshold of wealth people aren’t willing to work extra hours any more. See: Europe & bigco tech jobs.

I think that’s true. Most people just want a comfortable life. Only a few will always want more.
And out of these few, how much would prefer to put their efforts towards goals of their choosing, instead of exchanging labor for money via whatever task someone else is willing to pay for?
