I think designers prefer to work on many sites a year, especially the good ones and that's how they got so good. Having a full time job working on one site, doesn't really suit that - for example how many times you can redesign the website before you annoy the users? (Imagine being the designer for Gmail for example) Programmers are much more comfortable working on one project for a long time, since it's actually easier and you get deeper into the coding problems.

On the contrary, it can be a lot more gratifying for a designer to be deeply involved in a product's design and make a long-term vision come to life. Gmail is not a good example since it's a fairly mature product, but I'm pretty sure a designer will never run out of things to do at most startups.
