Personally I think the reason more MO’s leave (As a percentage wise) is because the mo community is more accepting of people “less than MO” meaning you will get people who are more on the margins and a greater chance of leaving, Not everyone who belongs to a Young Israel is really orthodox. In the charedi world you are either all in or you are out. If the MO’s were more ironclad on who they let in like the charedim its likely the retention rate would be higher
