Part time makes sense for a company if it's a specialized role that they can't saturate with 40 hours of work per week but still need on an ongoing basis. E.g.
* Remote hands for 10s of racks at a datacenter
* SOC2/auditing paperwork
* Customer service
* DBA
* Accounting, HR, and other backoffice
For most other roles (e.g. developing product software), the company would rather onboard the minimal number of people to finish quickly, so they will want full-time. It's pretty rare that a company needs part-time work for a fixed-length project, but it's sometimes useful if it's a small part of a larger project. E.g. a designer could be part time on a typical web-dev project once implementation starts.
A really good tester would be awesome to hire for 1 hour per day, but it seems like that part of the industry is unfortunately a race to the bottom, so it's probably hard for talented people to get paid what they are worth.
