I think the key is that it would be completely voluntary. Not many people are going to complain if you want to go off do your own thing.

Having a theoretical option to do a thing is not the same as having the freedom to do it.
Do you think the community is going to give that person's net worth back so they can start a new life? Do you think someone is going to spend time building a business just to walk away with nothing? What about the friends and family left behind who will no doubt be encouraged to shun you.
Cults are completely voluntary, too, if you think only in theoreticals and ignore the practical implications of their policies.
