Devs also leave after completing all the meaningful, interesting work and finding there is none left. It feels good to build and launch a product - or even add features that can have an impact on the bottom line. It is something very different to work on a list of features that you know very few people, if anyone at all, are going to use. Same goes for maintenance.
