When did it become popular to announce you were leaving something? This was not something people started doing until the last 5-10 years. Where on Earth did this desire for attention come from? Hoping that people try and convince you to come back? That's like someone in a relationship saying they're leaving it, and wanting the partner to fight for them...
It's called communication, and its an insanely valuable intel for a company that it can use to its advantage to improve their services. The people who do this care enough about the game to let the developers know how they've been let down so that maybe they do something about it in the future.

If someone stops using your services wouldn't you like to know why? When people don't care and just leave then you're in a real problem because you don't know why or what to do. SE is blessed because if they ever start growing concerned about their numbers they can come here and find out why. Sure they're fine now but good times don't last forever.
