because cultural inertia (see also why USA still uses imperial units instead of metric)
but agree that we should have more poeple working less instead of a few people working a lot (or making all the money)
6 hour workdays would also be cool, instead of 3 shifts to cover a 24 hour period companies would be forced to have 4 shifts a day (for 24/7 operations)
