Just because you've accepted your unfair situation - which, let's be clear, is that you have a second-class status even compared to other foreigners based solely on your country of birth - doesn't mean everyone else in that situation should do the same.
Other H-1B holders who point out this inequity are not morally "wrong", or "crybabies" (paraphrased from another of your comments). Petitioning the government for a redressal of grievances is a very American thing to do. And doing what you have done - accepting the reality of one's situation and adapting to it - is very mentally healthy and pragmatic.
Some people, like you, work around the existing system, while others ask for a better system. Neither group should put down the other, or denigrate the choices they have made. Try to be a better person than that.
