A strike is a specific thing. That you do as part of a unit.

does not mean we are not protesting.

But that doesn't make it a strike either.

Not everything that hurts the company is a strike.

A strike is a group based action in which you refuse to do your job while demanding to get some level concessions before you'll go back to work. Quiet quiting fails the organization aspect, and the demand aspect.

We just consider organizing as just quietly aligning our wallets and behaviours without being overt about it

That's not the same type of organizing that needs to take place for something to be considered a strike.

I am sure there are a lot of organization for software developers for people who do want to be loud about it too.

When they are, then it may be considered a strike.
