You seem to ignore the most inside roles quote an "umbrella rate" from which both Employee and Employer's National Insurance should be deducted. And one cannot ignore training costs; yes, the company will pay for the employee, but these are also costs to the contractor and should be accounted for.
Ok, one can ignore company fees, expenses, and insurances for inside roles, but the contractor may also have a company for those occasional outside roles, so perhaps not.
But do not discount the "fluff" so readily. Large employers will offer staff many benefits that a contractor would have to pay for put of taxed income.
Swings and roundabouts, but the difference is not quite as impressive as you are making out.
