There will likely always be someone willing to fill any position regardless of how abusive it is. There’s no reason to suffer because other people have decided they’re going to suffer at a miserable job. There’s also generally a huge pool of talent that management could find a way to accept for a position, if they’ve gotten the correct incentives.

They can definitely find replacements, but they're still hurt by the knowledge that walks out the door with their former employees. My previous employer had a large decade-old (at the time) codebase that was only well understood by people who had been there since the beginning. Losing all those SMEs was a painful blow, which was why they finally changed their policies.
