I think the reason is simple: once the junior dev is trained, they will leave. To be clear, I am not saying that they are obliged to stay in the company that trained them or being ungrateful in any sense, I am simply implying this is a common outcome from such training.

In software industry, the first job switch in 2 years seems pretty common and reasonable, and the dev by that time would be able to strike a better job offer not only for money but also better aligned with their self-interests.

From the companies' perspective, they might find such high attribution rate stays against their own favor, making providing necessary training uneconomical for them, both in time and money.
