You could run hundreds of agents in parallel and arguably that counts.

No, it wouldn’t. The hours in question are human experience, not that of the agent.
Why not? You have far more results to review.

If you run a model on slower hardware are you getting more experience? Surely its a factor of model output reviewed and not human time.

Right, it's about how much time the human spent - the time spent by the machine itself is irrelevant. As you rightly point out: that is why we measure programmer experience by wall clock time, not CPU time :)
