Why do you believe non profits are immune to this? They're still incentivized to produce value. Maybe we just don't mock volunteers for doing a good thing and instead shame the people taking advantage of them?

I didn't say nonprofits are immune to it. I essentially said for-profit companies are for-profit. That says nothing about non-profits.
