Because employers is hiring your service base on time and not according to delivery.

Need to devise a system where programmers are paid base on deliveries and not time.

It's also more fair to be paid base on deliveries instead of time.

Yeah. If I was paid the same for the actual output I produce I estimate I could hold the equivalent of at least 3 desk jobs simulatenously and triple my income. I suspect the same is true for many people. Large companies are not very efficient at utilizing people. Ironically I think companies in which people work remotely a lot tend to be the most results-oriented and less tolerant of people wasting time...because there is no way to keep up an illusion of productivity with “butts in seats”. So what you end up with is quite contrary to the myth of remote workers being unproductive.
