The price is dynamic and usually set by supply and demand. Is there a reasonable way to enforce a decrease? The work week and day have been historically static and more importantly arbitrary. To my knowledge there's very little to support a specific number of hours (per week/day) is optimal, except for upper limits dictated by the limitations of human biology.

Can price drops be forced on things that are in very limited supply, like homes in coveted areas? Or even on products or services that already have very low margins? Would the seller be there next year to tell you how it went?

The technicalities of forcing a price drop feel out of reach while shortening the work week has been done successfully twice already just in the past 100 years. Profitability is still higher than ever.
