If you don't I think you can view the bond partly as an investment into the cadet - airline risking financial damage if they have to let you go for whatever reason.
The whole point of the bond is that the airline is making you responsible for their loss if you don't work for them for long enough.
I know guys who got laid off from Emirates weeks into their bonded MPL course due to COVID and were held liable for the whole bond. I would assume its the same deal anywhere, you agree that the training is worth X amount and you agree to reimburse the airline for investing that much in you if you don't work long enough for them to get the value from them, regardless of the circumstance of your departure.
