I thought that was the whole point. The movie wasn't about easy answers.
In many ways they were right and he was the inferior human, but this led to horrible discrimination, relegating "natural" humans to second class status (but horrible discrimination built from a series of perfectly reasonable business decisions). It was also a movie about the power of the human will, but it wasn't about will conquering all, it was an exploration of a possible world where our notions of fairness and someone with sufficient drive surely overcoming all obstacles may be completely upended.

What if he'd had a heart attack during the flight? The main plot of the movie torpedoed the big question of discrimination entirely. And then there was the matter of wearing business suits on a space mission. Just weird.
