Agree with Garrett Baker’s reply—if the company prefers the original deal to a better deal, it’s being stupid and giving an opening to competitors.
Maybe another reason why people talk about exploitation a lot is because they expect markets to reward the deserving, but markets don’t do that. Like, the boyfriend in the dating example from the post isn’t getting much out of the relationship, but that’s just due to the market—there isn’t enough demand for what he’s offering. Even if he’s spending a lot of effort, but the demand isn’t there, his effort is irrelevant. And that feels bad, and makes him want to talk about exploitation.
