Not sure I agree with you here... Most of the developed world has adapted to the US business calendar which is 251 business days in a calendar year.
251 / 5 days a week = ~50 weeks
Plus many get 2 weeks PTO which would mean working 48 weeks a year getting paid for 50 and that extra 2 weeks is free.
Obviously there are many jobs that don't conform to this. Personally, I get paid per day that I work and its up to me how many days per year I work.
It's an interesting idea to align with the lunar calendar but you would end up with a couple days to make up at some point waiting for the next new or full (whichever you use to start the next month) moon making it hard to plan the further into the future you go. Kind of the same reason we standardized time instead of marking each day by local apparent noon (the sun's highest point in the sky at the location of the observer)
