I'm not sure the logic stands. Following the same logic, I can also argue that of course looting should not exist, but it does. Looter could've taken a decent job if they could find one. Plagiarism shouldn't exist, but it does. The cheating students could've avoid cheating if they could get higher scores so they can find a decent job. And on and on.

What's wrong is wrong. Period.
