"""I like the idea of an employee being able to quit at a moment's notice, and that goes hand in hand with the ability of an employer to make the same choice."""

Not even remotely the same.

Because those two, worker and employer do not even remotely share the same power...

Agree. In a startup or a small business, the employer is the weakest. He/She must pay a high enough salary to get a competent worker, must pay for training, must pay salary while the worker is employed even if the company is not making money, must be aware and comply with labour regulations or risk a fine...

The employee just has to show up and do a barely acceptable job to get a steady pay.

Except that when you have a small company like mine. I have 3 employees. If anyone leaves it will hurt me as much as if I fire them.
