But why should anyone have to grind at a shit job? If your business can only survive by grinding people down, maybe society would be better off without it. If the only way we can get same day delivery is over the burnt-out, permanently injured ex-employees of a multi-national, is it really worth it? Maybe that start-up never should have made it. Maybe strong labor laws should have forced them to scale back their ambitions or close their doors.

I don’t wanna just say “this”, but for real, excellently put.
“But we just have to abuse people for a little while until…”
Then it’s not a viable business model. Easy as that.
Cooperatives are a thing, and they work, they just don’t scale like cancer by generating hype-funding over destroying their employees, so they don’t drum up so much excitement from the moneyed.
