It's not a sound analysis because

A: You can apply that observation to literally every worker that negotiates pay (waiters' tips, Uber tips, plumber, all craftsmen and tradesmen)

And

B: Pointless because it's anti worker and anti solidarity, dead end. Your interests working in presumably the core are still improved by the hyper exploitation of the periphery, your conditions worsening would still be bad

Creative and fulfilling labor is still labor, protecting and making that available to as many people as possible should be the goal.
