Dunno, more often than not they are disgruntled developers unsatisfied with the direction the company is going. That usually means less artistic freedom, more crunch, more braindead monetization schemes.

Who go to create a new dev studio under another corporate thumb and churn out the same garbage.

What someone believes and does isn't the same as the situation they place themselves into. I don't care if every employee in the studio is from the Witcher 3 days, they're still funded by investors and will likely face the same pressures. Their desire to be free of those constraints mean literally nothing.
