Wut? First, why the self contradiction. If it is annoying then there is a problem, that point of annoyance.

And keep in mind, as also pointed out elsewhere, this is not how it is everywhere.

You might be content with the situation (which is understandable, as your wife gets her pay by it), but that does not mean there are no issues are that's how it is.

That's how it is in the bigger world outside of academia... Why would it be any different?

If you want to make the full value of your work then become your own boss. Though as others in the parent thread pointed out businesses cost about .5 or so for every dollar you make.

So it's either suck it up and accept that's how our society is structured and it happens to be an annoying aspect of it. Or we try redesigning society and discover different annoying problems/issues.
