What's anti-worker here? A works for B while both A and B want it. The moment one of them doesn't want to anymore for any reason whatsoever, they close this agreement. What's the problem with that?

If that pedigree is such a high horse.. I'm sure they'd have no problem joining the company next door.
Have you just read Ayn Rand and experienced edgy libertarianism for the first time or something?
One of many problems with that is the power imbalance. Another is the wealth imbalance. Another is that the “company next door” might not be in a hiring cycle. Another is that your mortgage doesn’t stop and wait for you to get rehired. Another is that people aren’t emotionally indifferent interchangeable cogs and having your life upturned on a whim sucks. Another is that people have lives outside work and have to be able to plan for the future, things like arranged holidays, childcare, that depend on some medium term stability. Another is that people invest time and effort in learning one company’s internal systems and that’s one-sided.
If you can’t come up with half a dozen things wrong with that off the top of your head, you aren’t trying.
