Non-compete doesn't actually do anything useful for businesses, otherwise they would have happily pay workers for the privilege of not working for their competitors.

Since that basically happen approximately never, noncompete agreements without pay should be illegal.

Given the option to pay for it, or have it for free, the choice they make not to pay is a clear reason.

If they did have to pay, it could definitely be advantageous to pay employees not to leave, on a selective basis.
