Teams that have very poor work-life balance lose more people than are actually high performance. This means they get more openings, and more people bounce out, continuing the pattern. Unless there is money and glory in landing in a badly performing team and turning it around, or the cost of managing a team with high attrition that doesn't get better is a pink slip, anyone that is career minded will not do anything to fix the problem areas that give a company a bad reputation. Even more so when said company uses stack ranking. Thus, almost every bad experience is worse than average, but if you are joining a company, it's much easier to land in those bad teams than in those where nobody ever wants to quit.
