exactly. A lot of engineers in SV are in a good enough position to be actually able to do this without much setback for them and their families financially since they’ll be hired elsewhere right away

Hired where? We moved manufacturing to China. They can't work anywhere whose production isn't held hostage by the Chinese government, one way or another. For Apple this decision was made by Steve Jobs and Tim Cook back in 2004 or something like that. They can't get their independence back because a low-level engineer decides to be idealistic, the check was cashed a long while ago.
