> gives incentive to the employees to demand actual wages instead of the bull shit system we have now.

Ah good, revolutionary theory to support not tipping.

Sorry to have to break this to you, but "incentive" for employees to fight back is not the issue when it comes to the power dynamic between service employees and enormous companies that employ them.

Don't get me wrong, everyone unionizing and having a general strike until tipped wages are abolished seems like it would be a better solution.

But this attitude punishes people already under massive stress for not taking on extra stress and risk getting fired for complaining in the hopes that eventually the system will course correct (with how many victims between now and then?).
