that's my point, in theory we do some quite complex stuff so why are we ok with being resources? we do have the opportunity to realize this and make a change, factory workers might not..

Employers don't like hiring and interviewing any more than employees do.
In the typical case, the incentives and power to do anything about them are misaligned. For example, a peer's time will be consumed in interviewing a replacement, but that peer never had any power to raise the salary of the incumbent.
Typically, the decision to convert to contracting is between the worker and management, excluding the worker's peers and the company's owners (unless manager-owned).
