Maybe they just don't want to?
Anyway. Don't be sorry. They get lots of money for almost nothing (in an engineering sense). And they have free time, so some of them they can do something valuable (incognito, of course. Otherwise faang lawyers come).
It's the big enterprise management who creates all these broken incentives leading to increase in politics instead of engineering.
