a3n is spot on. This is called an externality in capitalism: an effect of something that benefits them which becomes someone else&#x27;s problem. Businesses focused on bottom line try to do anything they can to get more revenue or reduce costs. They don&#x27;t care about the impact unless it impacts them and for more than the gains. Plus, with existing labor practices, there&#x27;s plenty of people desperate for a job to scrape by on their bills despite what they endure on the job. Add the fact that many companies are doing it and it&#x27;s like a self-reinforcing system.<p>The companies peddling this surely know about this. They don&#x27;t care: avoiding it would hurt their sales pitch. And they too focus just on the bottom line.
