I don't care what you need to support a family, point is 5 years out at around 100k is not average salary, it's definitely slightly above. You are wrong as hell, it's not easy to stay at Big 4 long at all even for 5 years. That's why there is such as high turnover. Many leave even before being eligible to become a partner, that's why you don't see everyone becoming partners and making bank. They leave for many reasons: maybe they don't feel like it's the right career path for them (MBA?), theres better offers out there, hours way too long, or too much travel. Big 4 is not for everyone that's pretty obvious, now hopefully that answers your question as to why people don't just work at Big 4 for 10 years. You seem like a college kid that's never worked a busy season at Big 4 or Regional firm or any demanding job, talking like its a piece of cake to work 65 hours a week. Some people can handle it, and most go nuts.
