"What's your opinion on programmers who are not passionate about programming, have no side projects and only program at their jobs"
That is the mistake, assuming people with side projects are the only "passionate" ones. It is an indicator but is never a correlation. The most passionate dev I've ever known has less than 5 green squares in his 2017 github timetable. Devs need free time to dedicate to other hobbies they have, or to programming but in a different way (for example, watching confs in youtube or reading security/programming posts)
