Are high level sports teams the best comparison? Google tells me NFL players make $400,000+ per year, if I was being paid that much I might accept that level of control from an employer over my life. But otherwise if I'm getting my work done to a decent standard and I'm not blocking others from getting their work done, then a manager trying to exert additional control over how I spend my time in or out of work is not going to increase my productivity

Coaching and performance management are far underutilized at tech companies if anything. Plenty of FANG engineers make this level of money and that’s with basically no coaching
