I agree that most people don’t actually work with 100% efficiency, but I disagree that everyone is procrastinating for 4-5 hours every day.
That much procrastination is the norm at certain companies, but try it at a tightly-run company and you’ll quickly fall behind your peers.
Note that communications, e-mail, and meetings really are “work” even if programmers often don’t count them. However, straight up procrastination is definitely not work.
