> It also means that tech giants do not really value the product and output of their engineers.

I think the opposite. It is not in the best interest of "the product and output" for engineers to keep switching jobs every few months to get increasingly greater salaries for the same work. It creates incentives to not care about the product.

What has switching jobs to do with this?

How many lawyers do you see switching jobs every few months?

Anyway software engineers shouldnt care about the product once the project is completed - the job to take care of the product is with devops or maintanence people. Development, and thats it.
