For "older" developers they experienced career pain that came out of Microsoft's abuse. Those same developers also experienced a time when Google and Apple weren't the same companies they are today. Obviously that muscle memory may not reflect the current reality, but it's there nonetheless.

But they claim to be entirely rational and caution while exhibiting blindness to the reality that other companies are just as shit.

Or they acknowledge that, and just choose to live in the tech equivalent of a remote cabin in the woods.
