Your company has a stated policy, repeated all over the internet, or a 6% yearly desired attrition rate.
Does your team have to align with that? It does not sound like it.
Therefore, your team is an exception to the HR rule. Sounds like you are not typical then.
And this is not an issue of HR policies applied to the "lower classes" of Amazon factory workers. These are HR policies applied to the developer class.
Why are you so short of dozens of SDEs? I would say that is ... 30 or more? Because you can't hire them through your LUDICROUS hiring process? Because you've "desired attritioned" so many? Why are you so short of developers? Ask yourself that.
How old is your team? What is the tenure of your coworkers? What is your turnover? How long have you been at your job? How many developers have you seen turned over? If you're short "dozens" of people, how does your team function? Do they just overwork you? If the team is functioning with 24+ shortfalls, why would Amazon fill them?
Yes, working everywhere in the modern world is all corporate shit to some degree. Maybe you feel comfortable now, but your team can get reorg'd. Your boss may move on, and you'll get a new boss. Then all of a sudden a tech problem makes you look bad.
