Kaylee--totally agree that the security of a traditional FT job is largely an illusion (and self-limiting RE your thoughts on non-competes). Especially for those of us who work in A-C startups, placing a bet on a couple of companies vs. being tied down to one can feel more secure. Crucially for me, it gives me a sense of mental freedom to say what I mean, to focus on the things I'm truly great at, and limit my need for internal politicking.
I've found more and more companies amenable to fractional or project based work. Partially because it is becoming more popular and partially because there's a lot of scrutiny on the revenue per FTE ratio.
