Counter anecdote. I've met at least one hyper productive pessimist. I haven't grilled all the hyper productives I know for positivity or pessimism.

Did they ever explain what goal they were working towards?

Earn money to pay for their family, while having fun solving problems.

Now that I think of it I know another hyper productive pessimist - they eventually burned out in the corporate world though, maybe alcohol caused it too. They are merely productive these days from what I gather.
