Is it a common theme HERE lately because this drive for productivity is more of a start-up / small shop phenomenon?

If you've ever worked in some larger "dinosaur" (Fortune 1500) companies it can be maddening that it can take two weeks what would take two days in a start up/small shop.

I think the need to produce in start-ups drives this HERE. The dinosaurs are established [and are making money]. They also are not competing for VC funding and don't have to prove their abilities.

Most people that have worked for Fortune 1500 companies seemed to have come to terms with "how it is" and do not stress if they aren't moving/producing as fast as they know they could individually.

To me it seems, and I suffer from this too, many in this community here aren't rarely satisfied with the status quo and are driven (at an unhealthy pace at times) to improve it.
