We disagree then. Some can't resign and some can't speak out. He decides without input. He is in charge.

What is the advantage of staying? I am not talking about the career people, I am talking the political people that are the administration. Why does the SecDef not resign? Secretary of State? Their deputies?
They can all speak out. There is nothing that stops them.
Leaving is a powerful statement that could get others to act, maybe even trump would act when he sees how bad that has looked. Clearly just doing what he says has not helped, time to try something else.
