Lemme try to explain it this way:
35 hours + 4 weeks of holidays = 37h per week + 4 weeks of holidays + 2.5 weeks of RTT.
The salary is averaged over the year and you're paid the same every month in both cases.
Someone who does 37h per week + 4 weeks of holidays + NO RTT, would be paid more over the year.
The hours are driven down and the yearly pay is driven down as well, because of the 35h and the RTT. It's subtle but it's happening.
Note that in theory, you can have the choice to not take the RTT and work instead. In practise, all employers force you to take the holidays so you don't get a choice.
