It’s not that they don’t want to leave; it’s that they know they’d lose their pedestal elsewhere.
I don’t have the personal experience with them that it sounds like you do, but I’m guessing if this offer were given by, say, New Zealand, at least some of them would take them up on it and do what Cubans in Miami do- pretend they’ve brought Cuba with them and still talk about how they’ll take Cuba back someday. Because New Zealand is not the shithole America is. It’s quite nice.
I’m sure you’re right overall, but I’m also sure “America is a massive shithole and getting worse by the day” is also a big factor here.
Sure. Here’s someone saying it directly to me:

Looking forward to the pretzeling to explain why that doesn’t count or why more examples are needed.
