The simple explanation is that many employers believe that. In fact I don't think it's that hard.

1. As another commenter pointed out, most jobs are in "at-will" states.

2. Many companies require arbitration instead of litigation to settle any disputes as a requirement of employment.

3. It's just as expensive for the fired employee, probably more so, since if you litigate, you're unlikely to ever work again.

Every state in the US is an "at-will" state. That is a US based vs non-US based employment distinction.
