Even if someone spends half the time watching YouTube, if all the work is done... who cares?

They care because it means you could be doing even more work in the time allotted.

It’s the “if you have time to lean you have time to clean” of the white collar world, why would they be paying the peasants if the toil isn’t visible

Another way of putting it is that it's the "I paid for X, I want to use all of the X" of the upper management world.

No, they don't actually owe them shit. But the employer thinks they do.
