I think your missing the point you can get fired for gross misconduct quickly even in states in the EU with stronger employment laws. If at will makes it so easy why are US employers including startups terrified of firing people - look at all this obsession with not making a bad hire if it was truly easy to fire this would not be the case.

> terrified of firing They aren't. From experience, startups have no problem firing people for simply not being exceptional. Startups are worried about wasting time, though -- the cost of a bad hire is taking longer to get someone good to do the job, because it's going to take time to realise they aren't performing, and it's going to take time to do the search again.
