The ultimate reason is that developers by and large were successfully convinced by the ruling class that they didn't need unions to advocate for their quality of life as it pertains to their career.
This is what the tiny part of a massive iceberg of consequences poking above the surface look like.
The crazy thing is that well-rested development is better development.
Many is the time I stayed up past midnight working on a task, come into work the next day, and threw it all away because I realized there was a better solution.
Managers don’t understand this.
Humans also frequently need to try a wrong approach first to get the idea of a better approach, no matter if we're rested or not. Which is why it's important to be able to throw away prototypes rather than push an "it seemed like a good idea at the time" to prod.
But having a good sleep, walk in a park, shower, etc lets us think better than if we're just banging our heads in the same corner all day long. Breaks are important. General health, too.
