Bear in mind as well that people on working visa are now tied to their employer for 5 years and so pretty easy to overwork and abuse in other ways.
When I went through the system, the 5 year work visa was issued to the person, not the company, but with the company instigating the application on behalf of the person. Within my first 5 years here I managed to change jobs twice and each time my employer took on the cost of transferring the sponsorship. (~£1500 at the time). Now the system may have changed in the intervening years, but I don't think it's the indentured servitude model you think it is.

Ah ok tx maybe it is not as "bad" as I thought?
Somebody I was talking to came in for a job 2 years ago, they said it is OK but not what they expected. They told me they cannot change jobs until they are here for 5 years.
But maybe the problem is then that nobody wants to pay for the sponsorship transfer? I can ask them what is going on.
Either way you are reliant on somebody else doing this for you, rather than finding another job yourself. It sounds a bit unnecessary to me, it is not that you get much dole money (or at all? maybe you get nothing at all w/o IRL) anyway.

It may avoid the abuse in low wages roles where people were laid off in fake redundancies and minimum wage immigrants rehired (yes that's a UK problem but...I don't get anywhere explaining that to Brexys)
Or create the same problem in another wage band cos you better shut up if you don't want to lose your job and visa? Maybe not?
I don't know for sure if it's going to give the nativists what they want or the law of unintended consequences will come into effect and they'll still complain.
