They say that, but is it possible that they are undervaluing what they learnt in those few years? I left my job to start a company. On reflection, the two periods during which I've learnt the most have been the last couple of years in my job, and the first 6 months of starting a company. I don't think the second period of learning would've been nearly as fruitful without the first period of learning, though. Perhaps it depends on the circumstances of the corporate job. I had the good fortune of having an excellent manager and an interesting role. Most corporate jobs mightn't be like that.
