There are two points I'd make: 1) Maybe yes. If the practices are really bad, it could be surprising that they're widespread and that people don't see a problem. 2) In general, when someone is pointing out something bad, saying "you're surprised?!" is counter-productive. You don't have to be surprised to call something out (I'm not surprised anymore how much our government spies on us, but it seems bad).
