TBH, I don't think that Lasseter would be able to do what he did if he stayed at Disney. So one could argue that Disney's decisions were good for them in the long run.

That may be a selective interpretation.

How many talented people have been fired or never hired, but you never hear about them because they don't make a spectacular come-back?

If hiring is as random as it seems to be, there's going to be a massive pool of wasted talent.
