If they have free time and want to work instead of spending it with friends and families, it is better to spend it learning some new stuff (tech or maybe some hobby) or doing some open-source community help (as one of the tweets said) or working on your own startup project, not working for some company whose managers and sales promised impossible stuff to clients and now want devs to make impossible - possible (and other "motivational" shit). Most companies give sh*t about you only while you're useful for them. At the first sight of any issue for company budget, they'll lay off anyone, since "everyone is replaceable".
And about that example of "people that changed the world" - all of them either did something they didn't saw as "work" or something that was their personal project, NOT for some company in order for some guy that promised to clients everything they wished in order to pay him to make his dreams become real.
