At 100 hours a week you are also highly ineffective and are wasting company time.

The important thing to understand, it's not because of some important business deadline. It's not about business goal at all.
It's a very cultural thing, partially a work culture rooted in factory-style production instead of innovation, quality, and mastery, partially a status thing a symbol of control and "ownership" over the workforce. Welcome to China.
In all seriousness, I was in my 20s, Apple was the dream job, and I was foolish. When you work those kind of hours you are donating money to those own the company. If you are lucky like I was you'll get some of it back. Most do not.
