Most of these are factors in any employment, and I would argue things like chance of losing funding at your job is worse than academic funding threats.

When you lose funding you presumably jump employers for a comparable position. In comparison, most PhD students work for a very low salary on the expectation of a payoff after something like 3 to 6 years. Framed that way, being forced to either start over or depart is incredibly costly.
