I don't get it either. I work in IT in France and do 39 hours a week. It's fairly close to that google figure.
And we have one of the most protective unions and so on here in France.
This is absolutely not unusual in EU to see people working 40+ hours a week and I'm sure there is much worse.
I agree that we should all work less than 8 hours a day, no matter the field honestly, but that's just how it is right now.
Now the main difference is we probably have much more holidays than in the US but that's a different story.
