I agree with you, but a lot of people are happy to take the money for doing nothing. Sometimes this is driven by lack of capability - if you're not good at much, not very driven but still want a great income and lifestyle, this sorta hits the sweet spot.
Also a lot of these people lie to themselves about their own importance, in order to have a (false) sense of self worth (but they're okay with it).
I'd assume you'd just double dip your time and work on something personal while doing nothing at work...
In my experience, most people just browse the internet.
It's very hard to summon the focus you need while playing fake busy.
