I am not sure that is true. My most recent conversation with my boss' boss made it clear that he was concerned them not meeting my needs money-wise would result lower motivation. He made a whole speech about bringing his best every day and we were not there to discuss motivation.
Management is well aware of what might happen. Financial incentives, however, are aligned with keeping costs as low as possible. And you are seen as cost. Even when you bring money in.
That means unless you have an offer on the table, ability to waste time is a secondary consideration.
For the record, I agree about the ability to waste time. I don't agree with assessment that management does not get it. They just act in their own short term interest.
