The payment is the cheaper housing options due to employeers needing to fill units with local workers. The evil is that, once so housed, the employee is no longer free to take non-local work. Are these people free to quit and start a remote-work job?

Got it. I see what you mean. No, they are not. Practically speaking, these jobs are not ones that can be done remotely. (But maybe another could.) More practically, absent these measures, those workers are commuting in.
