While I agree, I do think that that is a small minority at this point. I just broke into the workforce after college 5ish years ago and I never had this mentality.
All of my coworkers around my age are the same, we know the company is only loyal if it’s beneficial for the company. Some younger people in the workforce have these pied eyed romanticized ideas, but most of us have seen too many examples like this and are just jaded. I assume every facet of my interaction with society is someone trying to exploit me somehow, because that’s almost always the case. I started feeling this way around 11th grade because the education system is in such a bullshit state, and college verified my thoughts with data. By the time I hit career age I knew it’s fuck or be fucked out there and loyalty is only for family/friends. I am in a STEM field, science not tech, for reference.

Is your company as prestigious as Tesla (was)?
They sell a dream to young people. Some bite, some don’t. But those who do, will become loyal servants.
It’s the same strategy cults use.
Yeah they also target the “elite” students who believe they’re about to score.
