It is what it is but it's so awful it's actually illegal to make contractors work as employees in most of the world. I'd wager it's got to be illegal in at least some American states.
This two-tier system is literally how the U.S. federal government works as well in a great deal of functions.
The distinction between contractors and employees is nationwide.
I've been reading about the "red badge of shame" at Google for at least the past 6 or 7 years. Seems like Nintendo isn't really an outlier in this case.
