Your statement doesn't make any sense. A quick search of LinkedIn shows:

    2,798 results for capital one software engineer
It's a company with a $50bn market cap, and ostensibly stable 9-5 employment. This is more of a symptom of having a ton of different products where people weren't interested or weren't able to create a unified login system.

Chalk it up to 'bad' engineering practices if you want, but not that there's no one to work at these companies.

You realize people take jobs at companies they don't want to work for all the time, right? So your statement is the one that doesn't make any sense.
Also worth noting, Capital One recently bought the powerhouse design shop, Adaptive Path. I think they recognize the need for for better UX
It's organization debt or the difficulty of getting such a large organization to gather enough inertia to make a move.
I don't even think it's bad engineering practice. It seems like rather reasonable and efficient UI.
12+ separate logins is, imho, neither reasonable nor efficient.
