Finding another job can be quite stressful when you're unemployed (as employers know you need them more than they need you) and severance packages depend on local regulations.
A few ex-colleagues are living close to the headquarters, but that company is basically the only employer in the area. Remote work is getting rolled back in a few places, so it's not that easy I would say.
Add on top of that people having children and not wanting to deal with the extra stress of job search when you have to care for your family.
I saw my ex colleagues recently, they told me I got lucky.
