Scientist here: I am tempted to write one, I haven't yet, I'm just doing it. Incidentally, my former postdoctoral boss is one of these academes who quit... One year after getting tenure. Interestingly, her decision to quit and abandon her project, in turn, enabled me to quit my "semi-academic" track (I've worked predominantly at "academic" nonprofit research institutes that are not generally colleges) - by trying to resurrect the project that she abandoned. Details in my bio, if you're curious.
