You would think that because you're a reasonable person. However at my previous startup, which no longer exists, the new CEO failed to save the company and parachuted out so fast that the company who later acquired the startup couldn't get the domain name transferred to them because the CEO and CTO were both gone. They had to bring back the predecessor CEO because he was still able to log into the registrar to transfer the domain.
In the case of a fire, some less than conscientious people will fend for themselves first and don't give a second thought to anyone else.
I agree there will some number of companies doing this, between 1 and $number_of_companies. I'm just saying it's pretty unlikely it's all candidate companies, which the article seems to be saying.
