We accept this system for a few reasons:

It works. There are no examples of large companies that do different. Small ones? Sure. But once they reach a certain size they either change, or go under.

You sold your labor. End of story. It's not your company, you don't get to decide how it should run. If you don't like it you don't have to work there, if you want to work there you have to accept it.

If I hire a landscaper to make me a wall, and he decides the wall will look better 1 foot over, I'm fully within my rights to fire or not pay him.

You can speak your mind inside the company, but the public "speakings" of the company do not belong to you.

It sucks, I know. But changing it would make things worse, not better.
