"Even" because the comment is about software service companies (as opposed to software product ones).
In service companies keeping or accounting time (so that clients can be billed) is a thing.
When working from home, keeping account of time spent may be a challenge. As long as one is in office, even though they may not be clacking away on a keyboard (but goofing away) they can be billed without any guilt and if the service company is really questioned or audited, they can show employee swipe in and out time.
For WFH employees one cannot, also just tracking login maynot cover full story (Ex. tele calls would not be accounted for).
