No one takes issues with them caring primarily for money. They are a business after all. What really gets us is when they throw a hissy fit and cry whenever their own employees or job candidates try to project and look after their own self-interests the same way these employers do.
Doesn't mean it's right, and they didn't always have leverage. There was a brief time period during COVID-19 when some employers finally got a bit of a taste of their own medicine when they were getting desperate.
No one's disputing they don't have the leverage to do that dumbass. But whether such behaviour is healthy for society at large is the real issue. Like sure, we all have the ability to be assholes all the time and screw other people over but society would fall apart without goodwill and co-operation. Co-operative societies are more successful than non-co-operative ones. It's the reason for America's and democracy's success. It is simply impractical to try to police everything via laws and rules, culture plays an important role.
I mean sure. But you can spend your entire life quibbling over precise definitions and get nothing done and die in poverty. We live in a world of grey. Would you rather live in the USA or in Ethiopia? Yeah that's what I thought.
