I'd argue it is a bit more common than you think, but probably for different reasons than you would assume. It isn't so much the impact of the side project that gets you the job, but more about networking. If you are involved in a

Universities charge stupid amounts (50%+) of overhead to researchers. The PIs basically run a lab, hustle for the funding writing grant proposals, and uni takes a big fat cut of whatever funding gets pulled in. And that overhead all gets sp
