I think it's super creepy in that it's exploitative.
Volunteering for surrogacy would be good, even with basic compensation, but this kind of surrogacy is just a job and one that has extreme health risks and risks to being able to have a child in the future. The kind of thing that should be fully within a personal risk category rather than exploiting the desperation of those in poverty.
Imagine a means testing regime where only those with five years of above 2X median income could be surrogates. What would happen to the "industry"?

Good clarification. It's not the surrogacy by itself that is creepy, it's the exploitation.
