Sketchy Thing on Linkedin...Banks Screwing Analysts? (DONT SKIP!)

As I browsed through investment banking analyst profiles on Linkedin, I noticed some of them do 2 years in IB and then suddenly they "transfer" within the bank to "strategy consultant" or "commercial banking portfolio management." 

WHAT I DID find really strange is after the 3 years, (ex: July 2017-July 2020), their careers end. Is this a sign of banks laying off 3rd years? Bad performance? 

Are Banks giving chances to them by giving them "other jobs"? Just seems weird, I dont know if I am not catching on to some "hidden"thing

Freaking out..

Wait I just thought everyone who voluntarily sticks it out and doesn't exit gets A2A if they want it? I'm confused is this not the case? I've never heard of laying off 3rd analysts before or moving them to non-IB role...a non-MBA associate seems like an easy win for the bank in terms of costs/training even if they are bottom bucket.
