Well when lawyers think they are the smartest ones in the room but are in reality dumb enough to present starving engineers and entrepreneurs with a "life or death" dire problem to solve, what did you expect to happen?

For us just to sit back while you guys prostitute us for all our worth so you can pay for your 3rd wife's divorcing you?

That's generally not what they do. They deliberately structure it not as a "life or death" problem, but rather a "nuisance or larger nuisance" problem. The expected response (which generally happens) is that people choose "nuisance".
