I agree with your second paragraph completely but I don't draw any parallels between a relationship and working for a company in the same way "we are a family" is immediately translated to "we expect you to put in more effort than we are paying you for and we will drop you at the first sign of trouble" (a LOT of people learned this the hard way throughout the pandemic). In a relationship I wouldn't be ok if my partner was always "window shopping" for "someone better" or, probably the better analogy, still on Tinder/Bumble/whatever-they-are-using-these-days while we were dating. When it comes to work I try to treat it purely as business. If a company could get the same output from someone else for less money than they pay me they would take that option in a heartbeat, they can't get mad if I do the reverse of that.
