But how is that "quitting"?

Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is in no way 'quitting'. Employers expected too much (without adequate reward) and are simply shocked that people are drawing a line.

Exactly. Which is why I read the phrase as sympathetically directed toward management. They are the ones losing here, and they want a way to shift the blame away from their own incompetence that requires such free overtime to run a profitable business.
