For a dollar more? No. For substantially more money, to get more playing time, to be closer to people that matter, to work with a coaching staff and teammates they like better? Sure. But that calculus is different for every player.
This! It’s far deeper than money and different level of depth per individual player.

Well that's a big topic...

The best way to build effective teams is through effective leadership. And yes, teams generally fight for the person next to them more than some intangible thing. That said, any well-led organization has a mission statement that everyone understands and believes in, from the very top to the very bottom. One of the best ways to get people to fight for each other (I don't mean just warfare, I mean putting all they have into the problem they are trying to solve) is for them to believe that they are fighting together for the same thing. Mission matters. Values matter. Those help bond the people who are next to each other, whether in a foxhole, on the defensive line, in the mailroom, or in the boardroom. There is a natural bond--a common set of values--you get from family, friends, and other tribes that we belong to together. But that's really what it comes down to: the people believing in the tribe they are a part of. In the warfare context, where the human desire to survive is literally our strongest instinct, it isn't at all surprising that the guy next to you--fighting literally for the same thing, his survival--is your most obvious tribe.
I've read this multiple times yesterday. Over the last 20 years, my professional path took me into a leadership role and over the last couple years, it has been the biggest struggle with the younger generation and the team I'm leading. Some of it has been my health took me away. Some of the biggest struggle was covid giving this idea that working remote is something that should be common. Even with some of the best on the team, it has created a large disconnect because it's missing so much of the foundational things you listed above. This is a football board, but posts like this and your deep thought and insight is why i have always loved this place.

I just realized the SEC has 10 teams ranked in the top 22.  Jesus.

They're no Middle Tennessee State, that's for sure.  :57:
