People remain staff because they have more power than they would have otherwise. Would you just give that up when you can hang onto it? It'd be the "good" thing to do, if you didn't plan to use your powers to work for the benefit of classic, but it wouldn't be smart (from the individual's perspective) to just give up all your power and go back to being "normal".

I'm not trying to valiadate what some people do or even support them; I'm simply saying that few people with power ever simply give up their power (George Washington would be the best example I can think of of someone who did) when they can keep it.
