Yes I have. I’ve even added features to legacy software and have made that a part of my mentoring to engineers to not reinvent the wheel and be good at reading and understanding code. I don’t think it’s a loss because the company has chosen to invest in that software. I include that time as onboarding for a project.

OpenAI IP is not code that you can read. It's the know-how of their team.
The board tried to get a merger with Anthropic, probably the second best team in the world for this type of work.
They don't seem to think they can "just re-hire".
Have you ever maintained the software where the original team left? I have. And though it was much less complex and cutting edge than what OpenAI is doing, it was a massive pain with loss of knowledge and time.
