For the same reason lots of people don't move and change jobs at the drop of a hat: responsibilities outside work. Kids in school, a mortgage, debts, friends, community participation. Once your lifestyle has lined up with a certain pay scale, cutting back is difficult. Upending the lives of your family to go for a more meaningful job that pays ways less? It happens. It's not pretty.

I wasn't only referring to just people who are tied down to one place and one lifestyle. There's plenty of tech people who are in a stage of their lives when they are easily mobile and still live a frugal lifestyle, yet almost everyone chooses the same wealthy and least ethical companies, while complaining their jobs are boring and unethical.

Not judging people who take well paying jobs at unethical companies, but they should at least stop moaning about it. Some people I know would suck d*ck behind a Wendy's to get paid FAANG money and be bored for 8h/day instead of do backbreaking work for peanuts.

I'd like to see some empirical data for that. I don't see how that squares with the numbers of people working for FAANG money vs the numbers working in all of the rest of the tech jobs in the US and world. If I were to take your statement literally, then all the companies paying FAANG money would have tens of millions of employees, when in fact their total headcount is ~2 million out of the ~12 million working in tech in the US.
