It's not a fair point. The same argument could be made that I work better if I also get your paycheck.

- Some people work better if they get their paycheck and their coworker's paycheck - Some people work better when each person gets their own paycheck

No one is saying that's unfortunate that you can't give both groups what they want

What is happening is some companies are choosing A and others are choosing B.

Employees who really care about A will prefer companies who chose A, same for B. Employees who care more about other properties C, D, E, etc. but not much about A or B will prefer companies that provide those properties.
