Recently, I read on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/onednd/comments/1jxhf16/what_is_the_monks_perfect_discipline_feature/mmqr8ja/ ) that D&D 5e, even 2024/2025, is supposed to revolve around long dungeon crawls with ~12 encounters before a Long Rest and only two Short Rests. Supposedly, this is 5e's "strengths as a system; long dungeon crawls."

This has me thinking: how do other heroic combat fantasy RPGs do it?

The 13th Age 2e playtest prescribes three or four combats per workday, known as an "arc." This is not tied to in-game resting or sleeping; characters simply earn a refresh once they complete their allotted three or four fights.
>The three or four battle period that leads to a full heal-up is now known as an arc.

Pathfinder 2e assumes three fights per day:

>You're generally assumed to be having about 3 encounters per day

D&D 4e Living Forgotten Realms, Path/Starfinder 1e and 2e Society, and D&D 5e Adventurers League adventures are bite-sized episodes with two to four combats in one workday.

Draw Steel!'s bestiary says:
>A group can generally handle about 4 to 6 Victories worth of combat encounters before needing to stop for a respite to refresh their Stamina and Recoveries.
An easy or standard fight is worth 1 Victory, while a hard or extreme combat is worth 2. Thus, this usually hashes out to three or four combats (e.g. two standard + two hard = 6 Victories).

BEACON and Lancer both suggest a four-combat workday.

The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide comes with five sample adventures. The three lower-level adventures have roughly three or four fights, each all in one workday. The two higher-level adventures have plenty of one-combat workdays, and the highest-level adventure has only one fight, full stop.

Is two to four combat encounters the "industry standard" for this type of heroic combat fantasy RPG, then? Is 5e an anomaly for pushing for longer marathons?

Two to four fights per adventuring workday as the "industry standard" for heroic combat RPGs?
