I think you already know the reason is money. Exploiting others isn't demonized, it's celebrated as "innovative" and "clever" and "entrepreneurial spirit." That is the system, held up, and propagandized by, the exploiters. We're taught that violent protest is "uncivil" or "barbaric," because it's the only thing that truly threatens the system, which otherwise holds a monopoly on violence, to prop up that system.

Because people are detached from ethics and humanity as an intended function of capitalism. If people regarded animal welfare every time they needed to eat by being exposed to the slaughter, line might go down. Media is sanitized whatever degree maximizes potential consumer bases, and ultimately profits.
