The real problem is that companies say they want 10x engineers but they don't even pay 2x if you deliver outsized value compared to your peers. If you create a culture of high performance with associated high compensation, you'll find that engineers will spend their free time working on company problems rather than side-hustles.

There's a risk-adjusted payoff, at least in theory. A 10x doesn't get paid 10x, but also doesn't get immediately fired if the project shuts down, gets paid when sick, doesn't get paid 30% less if company revenues go down.

At least in Europe. I guess in US it's all different.
