So you don't like academia. You don't have to stay in academia if you get a PhD, it is not a one way ticket.

Isn't the scramble for grant funding and pressure to write papers more of the...Industrialization/capitalization(?) of academia than basic academia?

Probably, but what if so? It is not like you can choose to ignore that. All the while there are jobs in the industry not at all like that.

What if so? Well, then that's not the whole of academia that they dislike, only maybe those parts being mixed with the others, and as you note, there are apparently jobs in the field/industry that do allow one to avoid some of those parts they dislike.
