I can always just leave and go somewhere else if I’m unhappy.

You think you can, and hopefully you actually can, but your employer might have other ideas... https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-google-others-settle-anti-po...

I'll expand on that slightly - the point is that employers are not beyond illegally getting together to restrict our access to alternative jobs. While it feels like we can just get a new role with a couple of phone calls, we might not be getting the best deal for ourselves regardless.

Yeah, that was pretty terrible. Good news is that the government found it out and put a stop to it.
Right now in the longest stock market boom you might - might not always be able to do that.
