In all these professions, and many more, we're expected to maintain a certain level of performance (or capacity for performance) whether we're officially given the time for it at work and whether we're paid for it or not.
I also don't see how you can possibly in good faith compare "public performance" to whatever you think the equivalent "performance" is as a developer.
It sounds disrespectful and unnecessary, honestly.
