This dynamic might not even been so bad if there was some honesty and graciousness behind it. Some friggin humanity. It’s not so cold to understand and systematize the natural tension between expectation and reality and effort.

Once again at the end of the day the problem is more likely the profit motive above all else

These dynamics exist specifically to wring the humanity out of any and all processes

If we leave things up to humans they might be generous instead of ruthless, and generosity doesn't make money

These kinds of claims always throw me off…

“These dynamics exist specifically to wring the humanity out of any and all processes”

Who designed the processes? Reptilians?

Whatever the flaws of the dynamic, I would guess there is something innately human and organic about it, not designed. Just another weird outcome of the efficiency machine of social evolution.
