It sounds like you're right but not completely. What you still haven't considered is that with your so called "every pilot becoming a slave" idea is that if this is true then why would the masses of people still walk into the doors of a flight school to spend thousands of dollars for a career with very low pay, horrible scheduling, and a poor QOL? Yes you're probably thinking that's how it is now and people are still training. Yes, but I've seen significantly less people starting in the last few years.
Overall from this post it seems that a lot of people have just gotten burnt out with flying since they have possibly gotten the wrong hand of cards, and can't image pilots actually living a good life. Sorry but this time it's changing for the better. And yes, no one really can prove what will happen, so well just have to wait and see.
Happy flying :-)
