This is how it should be on salary. If you're good enough then you can get time back from the job and work less per week. It starts to look crazy good when you are doing like 5-10 hours per week because you're so familiar with a code base and have a decent understanding of the business. If they aren't going to give meaningful raises for doing maintenance, then time is the only thing you can get more of.

If companies want people to work harder, they'll have to give more compensation that scales better with performance.
