Because it's a thought provoking question, also not everyone is aware of the second industrial revolution's profound influence on today's concept of work/life balance. OP is challenging a commonly accepted belief that employees should keep some independence from their employers. While this is something I agree with wholeheartedly I think it's a good thing that some people on HN question the status-quo, especially if that's sparks an interesting discussion.
