I think part of the problem is that it's hard to measure the productivity of individual workers and even harder to link that to specific outcomes.

Thus if all the best workers are replaced and now we have higher system failures, more bugs, and slower project releases, then management can choose to believe that those problems are unrelated to the decision that caused people to leave.

Only the lowest members of the team understand the loss in real terms... and who wants their thoughts and opinions on things?
