The problem is courts falsely find that there was a meeting of the minds when a corporation with a legal team writing a 15 page agreement even when they are contracting with someone that has a 5th grade reading level.
If courts were strict about limiting the ability of those with legal representation to write advantageous terms that give them advantage over those without council, there wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue.

The contract at issue here wasn't an employment contract, it was a copyright license. That license was likely written with lawyers on both sides and clients who are informed about the tradeoffs.
