The companies who bent over backwards to give them all of those benefits are not public services or non-profit altruists. They're ruthless capitalists and if they could get the same value by paying developers $20k with no benefits, they would. Hell, they keep trying to (and mostly failing).
Despite that, they're still comfortably making billions when not trillions. So I'm not very inclined to weep for the abuse they suffer from their entitled workforce.
The pay, the hours, the benefits, that's simply what work can look like when the power balance between labour and capital moves a little bit in favour of the former. If you're part of the 0.000001%, sure, ask yourself how to put a stop to such "entitlement". For everybody else, the question should be "hey, can we figure out a way to get there too?".
