I agree with this statement, however, this is a monster that we, collectively as pilots from the most senior mainline captain to the most junior regional FO, have created.

I must also say that I,too, was one a poor, struggling CFI eating tuna fish and crackers to survive once and would've done anything short of selling my soul to the devil to get out of being a CFI.

Is it an ideal situation? No, of course not. But this is a problem that the pilot generation of yesterday started and it is up to today's generation of pilots to either fix it or exacerbate it.
