Thanks for the context. Fwiw I can definitely empathize with that. Companies have been giving employees shit deals more and more over time.

For instance, I've met single company lifers and can't imagine that level of loyalty given a company wouldn't think twice to lay me off.

A lot of people like that are just coasting along, and fairly happy with where they are.

And that's fine, if your company treats you well, it's not a moral failing or anything.

No judgements either way, but some people do believe their company cares about them. I have yet to experience that myself is all.

They'll sometimes do just enough to give the impression they care about employees, as happy workers are generally more productive.
