Outcompeted in what sense? Making money? I mean, I guess if you argue that the people who did it will on average have more political influence due to having more money then it's plausible, but there's an even more plausible argument: People in charge of major organisations don't like worker flexibility because it's logistically difficult, and "more work-oriented == better productivity" is the most intuitive meme ever, so it caught on.

Outcompeted in the sense of still existing, whereas the other doesn't exist anymore... I don't find it very reasonable to jump to more specific conclusions, such as arguments over money or political influence. There could be millions of other important variables.

Political and social influence, including the ability to "influence" other societies by bombing them, is the reason for wealth.
