In Germany that is required by law (if your employer sees you working when ill, working too long, working too much - they have to force you to stop).

If not by law, then because almost noone is happy working 60-70h and it puts pressure on others who feel like they also need to work similar hours. Additionally the efficiency gets worse as the weekly hours increase.
