It seems to me that people switch jobs frequently. There's no sense in training people if they leave before your investment in training pays off. Why wouldn't you want to profit from the fact that people can educate themselves on programming skills?
You brought up privilege, but a good and friendly workplace environment is only for the privileged. Potential workers are everywhere, but employment is scarce. There's no business incentive to bend over for your workers when you don't have to.

This is exactly why golden handcuffs exist. > Potential workers are everywhere, but employment is scarce. It's not 2009 anymore. U-5 (unemployed + discouraged workers + marginally attached workers) is currently less than 5%. The last time it was that low was Dec 2000. That's all workers of any type. The market for programmers is even tighter still.
