Nah, this is just defeatism. If people want to exist in society, they have to play by the rules of society, so it's better to change society.

Those kids covered in cobalt are just trying to exist in a society.

This kind of "you choose to use deeply exploitative systems that have no real alternatives" rhetoric is wrong. If there are no real alternatives within the system, then it is important to push to change the system, not blame those who exist within it. Blame the Capitalists for engaging in horrible labor practices, and those complacent. Don't blame the people engaging with what's available.
