If you are an employee, the employer has control over how you should do your work. IF you don't like that, transition to being a contractor and sign service agreements where you are going to be paid solely for results not for how you achieve them.

That will change things for him, or any others taking the same course.

Hundreds of millions can't all become contractors, and realistically wont all become contractors.

So the issue described is a real social issue, whether he can "just" quit and avoid it or not.
