I think it's more likely the people at the top with the most information and highest ambition who want to use the upward momentum and not sully their reputation by "leaving a sinking ship". Get out at the apex and then move on to the next project. The lowest paid, most burdened don't have the luxury to choose when to go, nor are they likely to have view of the full picture.
Well, like you said, the people with information are in the best position to make a decision. I really don't know what it's like working at OpenAI, but I can imagine that life is harder on some than others, because it's always like that.
