If it's so easy to run a profitable business, why not run your own and keep that money for yourself?

The truth is workplaces that limit distractions are much better places to work, and more enjoyable for employees. I've run organizations that offered one person offices to every developer, and it was a big reason why our turnover was extremely low.

Irrelevant. How do you know know I'm not already doing that.

My main point, which will valid for as long as humans are are the switch is that you cannot maximize every second.

It's relevant that you think the company doesn't deserve the money it makes. If somehow employees could make that money without all the services and assets of the business, they already would be doing so.

And it's not about maximizing every second. It's about providing the best possible work environment to allow people to be more productive.
