As long as the compensation of any of the workers didn’t depend on the financial success of the movie does it really matter?

Compensation construed broadly includes future work based on your portfolio. If one did stellar work that otherwise would have yielded future opportunities had the work not been shuttered then the answer is "Yes."

A movie doesn't need to be released for the crew to get credits.

It does to count as credits to the most important group: the audiences.

Absolutely. What does the financial aspect of this have to do with anything? A movie created and never viewed is a cost to society with no benefit.

Yes. A lot of the work could have been badly paid but great for one's portfolio.
