Can you elaborate on that one? I'm really curious, as my naive assumption would be that impostor syndrome should improve retention (something like "I'm not as good as my current employer and coworkers think I am, so I better not change jobs because this is the best I could get").

Yeah, but there's a never ending stream of recruiters trying to land you as a Xoogler hire.

That makes it pretty easy to take a new gig and make that nagging imposter voice in your head quiet down.
