The 40 hour work week was kind of a creature of inertia.
For decades prior, the work week was getting shorter and it just sort of stagnated on 40.
Rising wages probably would have kept shrinking the workweek, if not for a bunch of arbitrary labor regulations.

Ireland experimented with a 4-day workweek and found that productivity actually improved for some professions. I hope that this trend will spread

Totally agree and was actually reflecting on that bit after rereading my own post just now, but I'm hoping you got the gist of what I was trying to imply.
And I agree with your second point as well! At the end of the day I think it has always come down to the individual's own aspirations, work ethic, and critical thinking to truly live a meaningful life!
