There's definitely something to be said about having a job that doesn't suck too bad, pay is ok and raises keep up somewhat (though of course not as much as it would via job hopping), coworkers are alright, commute isn't terrible. And then you wake up one day and realize that 20 years went by.

This is pretty accurate. For my current field I'm tethered to just a handful of locations in the country I could work at. This sounds like it will describe my situation in a decade or two as long as they don't get rid of me before

They're definitely out there. My mom, before she retired, was a very driven career-oriented woman, and was with her last company for a shade under 20 years. She always had head hunters after her (sales manager), but the company took damned good care of her and her team, so she never felt compelled to go anywhere else.
