They can make that decision if they want, or they can wait a bit to hire a more experienced dev for money money. I wouldn't say it's their "role" - nobody's forcing them to do so, and if it doesn't help them, I don't see why they would feel obligated to do it

I feel like this is a bit of a self-reinforcing cycle:

“Why would we train them up, they’ll just leave anyway” -> “screw this place, I am going to leave when I get the chance” -> leaves -> go to step 1
