The article title does not make it clear that The linked YouTube vid is actually specific to the Japanese anime industry, which is famously low paid. The issue goes back to the birth of the industry with Astro boy in 1963. The project was proposed with a certain budget, but ace0ted by the heads of studio on the grounds they cut the budget to 20%. They are a class apart from the rest of the animation industry. It is not helpful to compare this industry to the mainstream animation industry. There is huge turnover in the mainstream animation Industry. However, One reason is that typically an animation project (for example, an animation feature) have a short production life. Typically two years. The article also mentions in betweenness (aka tweeners). This is the lowest of the low in the animators world, usually subcontracted to developing countries like Vietnam, the Philippines. From my experience (which is limited) The expectations of these workers generally is very low. They treat it pretty much like a job in a sweatshop. Lowish wages, but low responsibility. Certainly it would not usually attract university graduates, or anyone who has been through an animation school training.
