Because we live in a system where paying more for doing the right thing will get fired and sued for lost profits as a CEO. If you run a publicly traded company, you are legally beholden to make the decision that yields the most profit, full stop.

How the fuck can they be so greedy?
They make bazillions of dollars per year (if not per month), and they are unwilling to pay just a bit of money for extras.
Fuck film execs, I hope there is another strike.

I’m as cynical as anybody else and there was a time I also would have repeated it as well.
But… show me the law. Show me where it says this.

There will be no sources provided because there are no sources to prove it.

I wouldn’t want to deal with additional background characters either even if they played the role for free.
It’s just more contracts to be signed, more people on set, more potential things that don’t go as planned. Its a lot of extra work and organisation needed for something that pretty much no normal viewer would notice.

We reach a new, comical level of greed, and then they find a way to top it.

This kind of thing isn’t new. [Here’s a clip](youtu.be/Zh7eAG2jJkA} from Three Amigos from 1986. The background characters are just a static painting.
