Yes, I recall reading the same thing many years ago too. IIRC the results were specific to the United States and it was posited that this might be due to differences in US employees views towards work. We tend to overwork ourselves whereas some of our EU or non-US counterparts don't do that as much.

Yes totally fair as well.

Other countries also have rules for things like "every employee must be able to see a window" and whatnot.
