That does sound a bit jaded, yes, although I completely agree on the fallacy of fungibility. It's a trait shared by my current employer as well, though, so I don't feel I'll be any worse off on that front.

I'm still likely to make the jump if they make me an offer that's a decent bump where where I am now, but I suppose that's because I'm a bit jaded myself.

Well I can completely recommend working for Google as a way of helping to calibrate what you will or won't do for a 'decent bump' :-)

To its credit there are lots of great people there, and the parts that work well are insanely amazing. I marveled at how you could have both the best and worst day of your career on the same day at Google. My failing is that I tend to care too much about problems that aren't going to be solved.
