Is it necessary? No. People didn't necessarily need to leave their jobs en masse at least not in the tech field

Except for those that wanted a proper competitive salary bump. A lot of companies have a standard practice of not allowing significant salary increases to existing employees, however are more than willing to offer new employees those juicy salaries.

If they are running away from something, they always find the same thing at another position.

This is far too black & white of a statement. Some (if not many) have left their position due to toxic working environments - exactly as OP describes was their situation.
