>The nature of the work is not the same, hence, the proportion of the modalities of your work are not identical.

I guess we solved that problem then. We're comparing apples to oranges and wondering why oranges don't have edible skin.

>The problem is considering that only your office boss work view is the one that qualifies as work.

So you're suggesting that more programmers should practice in their free time?

>The problem is also considering that a software engineer performance is in writing code/investigating bugs, whereas it is in the whole process/intellectual pursuit.

You can argue we're always performing or never performing in that case. Or perhaps our "performance" is crunch for a deadline, or right after a product shislps.

Either way, it's fundamentally different from practice/performance scheduling of athletes or musicians. Performance should be a place where you put 110% into an act, often in a burst. Physically or mentally, we can't afford to operate at 110% every day. That's why there's often a rest day for musicians/athletes. Knowledge workers is much more spotty.
