I don't see people on this board saying that the system should be kept as is, but I do see a number of people who think that the players' "demands" and their approach of "my way or the highway" by calling them demands and saying they'll boycott if they aren't all met are excessive

While it may be is true that all demands will not be met, asking for the moon is a negotiating tactic just like withholding labor is. Now #WeAreUnited has a call with Larry Scott today. This is the power of making large demands, organizing, and unifying. No way they would have this call if a few players just griped to each other. What will happen is anyone's guess, but if the players stay united, they will get a lot of what they want because they have more leverage than most groups moved to seek more rights and compensation.
