That's true. I did'n phrase it well but you get my point. The field is never level and that is never an objective.
Many of the kids also have debts to their parents only.
And large % only dream to fly corporate or airliners, which are legit dreams but don't have much to do with elevating the flight instructing "industry".
One of the few students I got had 35+ hours and his instructor had not shown him the AIM... Why care when he only wants to make more hours so getting that student to an exham quicker is contrary to the instructor's interest.
There are many f-ed up flight instructors, and just because they charge doesn't make them any good for the flight instructing profession. Flying hours alone are not a reliable gauge either.
