Entering the modern commercial music industry to then complain about having to share credits is like getting a software developer job and be upset that you are expected to write code.
At the end of the day, the singer brings in 100x more value to the table because what ever genetic lottery they won combined with whatever they did to capitalize on that means millions of people with poor taste want to throw money at them for the illusion of them being a musician. The song writers are much more replacable then the "face" in this scheme regardless of where the talent lies.
Anyway point being, don't get into commercial music if you don't like it. There are plenty of ways to maintain artistic integrity as a trade off for money but these writers choose to sell out instead. So don't sell out and then whine about not being able to keep your integrity.
