> fantastic job of explaining why that is while touting it as benefits

Because, as we all know, all businesses are IT startups that can afford to pay for comprehensive medical care, every employee of every company can afford the dissolution of a company (or just an emergency) etc.

IT companies don't exist in a vacuum.

Also, there's a reason American IT companies frequently list medical insurance, parental leave, vacation tim as benefits. You know, things you don't even think about are listed as benefits.
