I generally agree with you and do believe that having the ability to just quit a job is a privilege (regardless of what industry you’re in) for the reasons you mentioned (other reasons include your age (harder to get a job if you’re over 40 b/c of ageism), family responsibilities, part of the country you live in) BUT I do want to push back a little bit on current Twitter employees just a bit.

It is absolutely true that for some people, they don’t have a choice in just quitting because of healthcare or H1B stuff. That’s absolutely true. But we're now at the 8 month mark of Elon buying Twitter. If you truly feel like it is a toxic and untenable place to work, you have had opportunities to explore other options. That doesn’t mean I judge or fault people who have chosen to stay, but this wasn’t January when there were tons of layoffs and uncertainty. Things have calmed down and while job offers aren’t falling off trees like they were in 2021, it isn’t the complete end of the world either.

People do have some agency eight months in. Again, I won’t judge anyone for staying for whatever the reason is, but let’s not pretend as if every person remaining (H1B or not) is void of all agency.
