People aren't paid for contributing to society, they're paid to generate wealth for rich assholes. Doctors don't earn billionaires as many yachts.
And you just showed your incapability to distinguish between descriptive and normative.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
"Purpose" is the wrong category here.

That's "it is what it is" for snobs.
