Unless your an L1 transfer, you can still change jobs fairly easily on an H1B, because everyone else in tech is also willing to do H1B transfer paperwork. So you can quit, it just takes longer...
And even as an L1, you can still apply at other jobs, because they will apply for the H1B for you and if successful, hire you then.
So yes between the waiting periods you do have to keep it up, but the barriers are not that high compared to citizens otherwise.
And this is my personal experience as a visa worker.
