Am I the only one that thinks calling it an “overproduction of PhDs” just because people end up outside of academia is incredibly elitist and gate-keeping?

What I am trying to underline is that people with PhDs outside academia might be doing exactly the job they always wanted.
-
Also I am not convinced we need more jobs specifically in academia in order to give all PhD graduates jobs exactly because not all PhD graduates want to work in academia. Many want to use their stats skills, for example, to do data science and get paid 10x more than us.

Something that academia really needs to confront is how abusive it is and why many prefer to be both treated better and paid more outside of it.
