Fun fact, the “996” work style is mostly illegal. Companies can be fined for firing someone for refusing to work it, and there’s pretty much no recourse from the company. In a few cases companies can be shut down for having it as a standard business practice.
The ‘mostly’ part is that temporary overtime to that extent can be allowed, in some industries, where public safety is not a concern. But it cannot constitute the majority of a worker’s schedule.
So it’s really easy to compete with 996, just do what china does and ban it.

The ocassional and temporary OT is fine. But regular? Fuck no.
