I don't buy the whole "deadlines help against procrastination and increase productivity " argument
Most procrastination is the result of lack in sufficient conviction about the importance of your actions.
Conviction requires more efforts and time. So of course, a system that is profit ~oriented would take a moral shortcut.
I think every person has an individual approach that works for them best to increase their own productivity. Not everyone has the resources to find it and establish it in their lives. And most environments won't permit it even after you figured out your own needs, inclinations and rhythms.
In a world where stress is increasingly a dominant variable in the development of chronic illnesses, the initial argument is more of an enablement of extreme objectification than a solution.
Life quality should take precedence over profit defined productivity.
