That's a clumsy analogy. Issuers paying for ratings is strictly bad and only happens because they can't make another model work.
Competition driving costs down is viewed by many as a good thing. Many people view the higher wages the folks in this case got v their other opportunities as an opportunity, not as them being exploited. Capitalism is a system which some might not agree with, but pretending it's an agreed upon problem is wrong. Pretending low prices is an agreed upon problem is wrong. Many countries have explicitly chosen a capitalist system (competitive, market model where costs and prices are driven down) and have legislation and agencies devoted to protecting the system. Those countries aren't run by dictators.
