I’m sure it varies by state, but in the US, you cannot collect unemployment if you quit, but you can if you were fired (and the company doesn’t decide to fight your claim).
That’s at least one reason people do it.
Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?

Satisfaction at making your asshole boss do something that he/she clearly didn’t want to do. Satisfaction that you made it as awkward as possible for them. You can also play the game of threatening to take them to an industrial tribunal for harassment. They might even give you a financial incentive to go peacefully. It worked for me on a couple of occasions and the bastards deserved it.
