Not necessarily. Self reported data is not renowned for its reliability. People often act self destructively or suboptimally. Incidence of burn out in tech is, AFAIK, much higher than any equivalent in other white collar careers. Tribal identification may blind some to endemic structural issues. "Lock in" to decisions causes the mind to value said decision more highly (skub/Robber's Cave study).

There's also a hazing culture in effect. "This is what I had to go through/I paid my dues" sort of thing. Maybe we can just stop paying harassment forward.
