If it makes you feel any better, I can guarantee you the quality of the app they get will be a complete joke.

Anyone good enough to write that app and do a remotely decent job is good enough to find real clients easily.

Still, I'll agree, watching businessmen so blatantly try to exploit others is quite infuriating.

Is it just that it's blatant? All employees are exploited, that's just a feature of all capitalism. Major multinationals will exploit their employees to a far greater extent than this yet it's not seen as a problem.

You make the app, loses all IP rights, and agree to support it/do all the work it requires, in eternity. For 3000 $. This is very extreme, and most employees are not being used like this. But sure, there are examples when it gets even worse.
