Yes, probably because it's a very competitive market (why many smaller studios have such a hard time surviving) and there are lots of people out there who are passionate about making games (why so many individuals choose to tolerate crappy work environments). Given that, I have no idea what a "solution" would even look like.

There is no solution. Game devs are doing this to themselves, and have no one to blame but themselves. If they want to make themselves suffer, instead of just getting a low-stress high-pay job in another industry with their valuable skills, that's their problem.
