I think the issue with point 2 is that most of the people doing the work know that, but the people making decisions tend to not. We've seen time and time again that companies will absolutely ruin their future prospects for short terms profits. This isn't going to be an exception, and a lot of people that the companies can't actually afford to lose are going to get laid off.
