IMHO, there are two problems:

1. You are expected to work 8 hours, while your body/brain is just made for 4 hours of extensive mental work. Afterward, concentration and productivity plunge.

2. Office cultures are rarely made for Deep Work. Instead, you are expected to participate in meetings, communication and presentations.

I think both problems are somewhat solvable, but in many companies, the office culture doesn't make it easy to fit in while solving those factors.
