It makes a big difference to be working for yourself, rather than someone else
Statements like this, and the whole article basically, make me wonder - since I'm apparently an outlier because none of this is really true for me - whether this originates from people doing jobs they don't really like and/or working for companies which have questionable work ethics and/or working for companies which are mostly about profit not product. I don't really feel any difference in motivation for the payed jobs I do and the contributions to OSS and the personal side projects. And to some extent: the hobbies I have, the non-software things I build. I just want to get creative and do the best thing possible. Sometimes that gets skewed somewhat due to certain requirements, and that happens more for payed jobs, but that doesn't change my motivation.
