Many of the issues you describe are the exact reasons I avoid these kind of jobs. I refuse to be exploited in this manner and that is leading to an inability to find work.
This situation reminds me of the transition from the early days of the internet to the current ecosystem. Originally, there were only technical minded people online, then over time the average person was able to get connected. This completely changed the landscape of the web. The same situation is happening now. Remote work was dominated by freelancers and entrepreneurs, now many more people are working from home and companies who have never considered this as an option are diving head first into the pool and disrupting the workflow of those of us who have been in this game for decades.
In many ways, it's not unlike colonialism. Our "lands" and culture are being usurped and there seems to be no recourse. The employers do not care about the impact they have made, and refusing to participate has little to no effect. There is a seemingly endless supply of desperate people willing to apply for these positions so the businesses have no incentive to change their behavior.
I've honestly considered giving up freelancing to seek a manual labor job rather than put up with this anymore. But this is not really what I want to do. I have too much knowledge that would go to waste by such an action. I am just hoping for better times to come soon.

Yes I understand Besworks, I am also hoping that just like internet has later on turned to be even more better and now-a-days there are a lot of useful stuffs to use on internet due to the transition that took while making everyone get an access to the web easily 🙂.
I believe something similar can also happen for work from home.
Freelancing will soon be one of the demanded fields in future which everyone will aspire to achieve just like influential market has turned. And getting a bid would be a lot harder slowly and slowly. Maybe that's the step of the world to bring everyone on the same ground where your location will not matter but your skills and experience will decide if you can get a work or not 🤔.
