It seems very unlikely that this would lead to value based pricing.
On the contrary: with async WFH + everyone-a-contrator, the supply of work will become much more homogeneous and undifferentiated, which will lead to commoditization.
Doesn’t mean prices will converge to minimum wage! But bargaining power will shift in favor of the buyer (i.e. the businesses)

My problem with value based pricing is that so much of my time is blocked from producing value by management actions. I would be peeved to be judged on one thing and then have my time spent on anything diverting from that.

The problem is trying to accurately quantify value. If there is a metric, it will be gamed.
I wonder if we’ll see a future where everyone will be contractors paid by value delivered, and companies compete to keep different people on retainer for capacity. Fun to ponder about
