It's really not, it's about greed and capitalism. People aren't grinding just for the sake of grinding.

Do you think that these are unrelated? Capitalism builds on puritanical protestant ideology, which played a part in the early spread of capitalist ideology. See Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. It's not a perfect cause and effect, but rather one piece of a web of cultural influences.
