It's always sad to see once great companies gow down the drain like this, no matter how well deserved it may be.
My theory why they didn't leave: There are companies that can develop some kind of "gravity" (for lack of a better word) that keeps people stuck even if it would be better to get away. It almost seems that's this is a heritage of the glory days gone by. And if the decline is kind of flat, you can end up needing a major wake-up call to realize where au finally arrived.

Well, a company is a just a collection of people. And since these people are moving on, they're going to go on creating cool stuff. Better to have companies dissolve like this than people with good ideas to stagnate in a dying office.
