The market viability of the concept kind of is beside the point. How the concept makes life for these people god awful **** is the point. If you thought anything about morality in how society treats people then maybe this would be obvious.

You're overly emotional about a basic economic point tbh
Lemme demonstrate replacability in a nutshell
Going back to the painting example
You find someone to paint your house for 3k. You look at pictures of their work and are satisfied.
Before you complete the deal, someone comes along offering the same quality service for 2.5k.
If you take them... Are you somehow demeaning the humanity of the other guy? Or something similarly dramatic to the drek you just wrote.
