    Because they needed those days for labor on themselves to not die. Like preserving food, making soap/candles, and doing things around the house.

    Thanks to capitalism, all of that time can now be spent toiling for your masters lords owners stake holders!

    Edit: Late edit to clarify that industrialization isn't capitalism, and that's what actually made it possible.
