People have been indirectly coerced through necessity to work in life threatening working conditions for the last few hundred years or so. Yes, they are "treated as adults" and allowed to accept those conditions. Some societies have luckily evolved and outlawed those working conditions.
To first accept the inherent inequality of capitalism and then also allow people to prey on less fortunate at the bottom is just wicked and evil.

In some cases, like the English banning slavery across their Empire, where moral prerequisites were genuinely enforced, but even that was from a wealthy perspective (i.e. those setting the laws weren't directly affected by their enacting).
