Why does she have to control the entire vertical process to earn a billion dollars? She sold her work and got paid a billion dollars for it. Who did she exploit? In what way were her earnings unearned?

That’s just back to my original point. Which was that every billion dollar enterprise is a collective or team effort and the only argument is about how the results get allocated.

Which is, as I pointed out, inarguable. No one is spawned alone in the woods to start their adventure independently of the society they are in.
