2 week notice? Bullshit or Courtesy?

Been mulling this over for a while. If you sign, as most people do, occupational agreements that allow your employer to “terminate at will”, why isn’t it inherently expected that you possess that same right? I can understand a 2 week notice when working for a brick and mortar, mom and pop type establishment where you have deep personal relationships with the owner or if it’s a small outfit, but for a large corporation? If I work for an entity that can expend me on a whim when in their best interest, irrespective of the context of my work or life-circumstances, why can’t I? Seems like a bunch of bullshit to me.
