I'd be careful with saying that is "always" the case.
What about people who are deeply passionate about their mission and chose to devote their life to it?

Not ‘real’ workaholics imo - you can drink a lot of alcohol regularly without being an alcoholic. You can work a lot regularly without being a workaholic.
Addiction is pathological, it has to do with self control, often a degree of chemical dependence / reliance, and how one prioritizes things in one’s life.
If you work all the time, but are otherwise generally happy and healthy, passionate and devoted to your mission - that’s not workaholic. That’s just living your best life.
