This isn't a Grafana problem, this is an industry wide problem. Resume driven product design, resume driven engineering, resume driven marketing. DO your 2-3 years, pump out something big to inflate your resume. Apply elsewhere to get the pay bump that almost no company is handing out. After the departures there is no one left who knows the system and the next people in want to replace the things they don't understand to pad their resume for the next job.
Wash, rinse, repete.

And the people who do stay... in many cases they turn into furniture that ends up holding potential good evolution back. They loose out to the technological magpies the bring shiny things to management because it will "move the needle".
Sadly this is just one facet of the problems we are facing, from how we interview to how we run (or rent) our infrastructure things have gotten rather silly...
