What's with the trend of suffixing every world with "-oholic" then-a-days, to characterize how too much of a thing can be bad?

Language changes. We used to make up words like "shopaholic". Now we might say "toxic consumerism" if we didn't already have a word for it. Different forms that mean the same thing; no need to get worked up over it.

I had a similar reaction at first, but thinking about it it actually makes sense here, because the productivity urge becomes toxic to the person in question. (In a slightly different spin, the person may also have become intoxicated by productivity.) My initial reaction is really only due to the prevalence of the word “toxic” in modern discourse, and not because the traditional meaning wouldn’t fit here.

> because the productivity urge becomes toxic to the person in question

I don't see much difference with the suffix -oholic that says the same thing.

pretty sure that is called 'toxic prefixing'.
