It's hyperbole, but I believe it's fundamentally a place to work and earn money, perhaps gain experience. It's not a place to grow and develop humans. Places like that are net sinks of human capital and basically vacuum up people from more provincial locations, extract their economic value, and people eventually leave when they get tired of it - possibly with some cash in their pocket.

The same could be said of many big cities. Not everyone likes big cities or wants to raise their children in one, but your original comment was a bad take.
