Maybe their business model does not depend on productivity. If the rate they charge for a developer with AI and without AI is approximately the same, they rather sell two people than making one more productive.
@FirmDistribution
Generally in the consulting business you'd just have your employees bill more hours than actually worked if they're being more productive than average. Obviously without telling your clients.
For government contracts it's not unusual that the agreed upon hours estimate is what is billed regardless of whether you actually spend more or less time.
