It's not, but it's better than moving a couple thousand kilometers away from your friends and family, denying your kids to their grandparents if you're married etc.
Less glibly, you commute every day, even those that live close-ish to their parents will typically see them less than once a week. Obviously this is range dependent, but there are plenty of moves that would result in increased quality of life without complete elimination (or even reduction) of family time.
Personally I'd argue that giving children more time with their parents is more important than "denying" the grandparents access, but I also don't have kids, so what do I know?
