If developers were unionized this wouldn't be an issue, but with the rate of outsourcing and Ai sourcing going on, human workers have never been under this level of pressure before in any post historic era.
I'm all for unionization, but I question the claim we've never been under this level of pressure before. While there are still enslaved people now, it was more acute for awhile there, especially in the USA and colonies over here. Children used to work long days in factories. Thanks to unions and workers rights campaigns we have the eight-hour workday in the US, which still serves well enough to enrich a lucky select few.
