People need to stop generalizing this point. It highly depends on the job. There is also something to be said about how corporations want so much more than just your role, they want mental, physical and emotional investment, almost to the point that it feels like a cult. I get team building activities and such, but companies love to build their "culture" and "identity" (in quotes because they are artificial forms of it because you get paid and cannot really go against it, so it has that artificial feeling to it).
