why do you assume they don’t work their full hours?
Mainly because I'm not naive, but more concretely because i have followed this movement because it interested me when I wanted to make more money.
But even if we want to pretend that all of these people are actually working 80 hour weeks, the article talks about juggling zoom meetings and falls, so it's clearly talking about some kind of deception at least as to when you are working.

Office workers are productive on average about 3 hours out of an 8 hour workday.
Not sure how that's an argument that it's ok to have two jobs. If people can only concentrate on work for 3 out of 8 hours, where are they getting the concentration for another job? More likely that 3 hours get divided to 1.5 to each.
