No-one is making everyone do it - it's a choice we all make. Partly due to fitting in with everyone else's existing habits, but partly - and this is where it came from in the first place - because most of us do actually want to take that emotional content out of work, and have work be lower-stakes and only cover a mild range of neutral to slightly positive emotion. It'd be too exhausting otherwise!
