It is like if someone goes to a group of starving orphans and offers them food and board and education, but in exchange they must work.

On one hand, you are helping them compared to how others treat them. On the other hand, you are exploiting them for your own gain.

Even ignoring the morals of offering a bad deal to someone who only has worse deals to choose from, there is the fear that such an actor would eventually evolve to lock out others who want to help without (or with less) exploitation.
