I chat to my uncle and other relations in OZ a fair bit, they , moved in 1968, and never looked back, no question of ever coming back, ( in their 80's now, so no chance of seeing them again)
He has had no visits 'home' ever not even for fleeting holidays, any family in the UK went out to visit them in OZ.
They never missed The UK , but I guess it depends what / where you left behind , they left nothing of worth, and the area they left, has not improved.
