Cannot speak to all of them but I know a couple work on sides personal projects the rest of their time. Doesn't matter if they are in the office or at home.
No one is asking them to write code 40 hours a week. That is not realistic in coding. Most developers' jobs include a lot more than coding. They are saying they spend 15-20 hour a week on all job related work. Whether that is coding, code review, engineering, testing, research, documentation, meetings ect.
