Generally, when people say they are working 8h/day, they don't literally mean it. Even "work" is basically impossible to define for a SWE.

I agree with you.
I am on Dutch subreddits a lot, to get a local pulse and not to be too HN minded.
A lot of them would have vilified you by now. Some even would have even questioned your morality.
Again, I agree with you. But clearly not everyone has this view.
I had a friend who was CEO of a startup tell me that he typically only “worked” an hour a day, not because he was lazy but just because there was so much nonsense in his schedule. He told me he was trying to get it to two hours per day.
