I think the reason the government in Japan have adapted a system where they limit the careers of their ALTs is because they have created a self-fulfilling prophecy of flakiness. Take a 22-year-old straight out of school, and of COURSE she isn't going to want to spend the next 20 years or 30 years of her life in a foreign country. So people quit after a year (sometimes less) and foreign teachers develop a reputation of flakiness.
Surely there are people that would do this for similar pay and a longer contract with more experience...
