You just described the exact problem. Corporations chasing cheap supply, consumers following because they have no choice, and somehow ethics never gets to be anyone's department. That's not a counterargument, that's the mechanism.
Yup. It's just capitalism. Resources are distributed on the basis of profit on capital. Any other consideration is secondary or tertiary, or non-existent. Anyone unhappy with it should be actively looking into alternatives and organizing for it. I am unhappy with it and I'm doing some of that.
