You make it sounds like it's a bad thing. Being able to focus your energies on healthy communities in a feature.

> employment [...] smooths over most disagreements at work

No. It just hides them. Backstabbing is popular, so it is disenchantment and cynicism. People biases turn into harsh peer performance feedback, refusal to hire and poor cooperation. Sociopaths get promoted.

No, it's definitely a bug.

Walking away from personal conflicts weakens projects and communities through fragmentation. It feeds the selfish desire for safety and isolation at the expense of developing the more healthy ability to put aside personal differences in pursuit of a greater goal.

As a result, these so-called "healthy communities" will eventually end up more fragile and more fragmented than their original counterparts, especially since personal conflicts are inevitable in any project. What a fine way to derail a movement.

This is only true for toxic workplaces, but most workplaces are not toxic. There are many tech companies (large and small) that are pro-active about creating a good environment.
