Why do drivers work directly for a TOC and not Network Rail?

Network Rail is in charge of most of the countries infrastructure, including its renewal and maintenance. However, if it were to start operations along with a TOC or as a TOC that would definitely be interesting.
That’s specifically prohibited by NR’s operating licence from the ORR.

When BR was privatised and split into numerous TOCs/FOCs it was also a government ploy to try and break the power of the unions.
