The thing is, it can be both money AND a better opportunity to make an impact that led to him making that decision.
However, it probably feels wrong to write a blogpost and say "I did it for the money". So people conveniently leave the money part out but I think we can all agree that it's probably definitely a non-trivial factor in their decision. It just happens to make more sense to tactfully focus a blog post on the better opportunity at hand rather than the money.
