Of course it's a mystery. An honest discussion about why orphan-crushing machines need to exist would lead to an honest discussion about where your society's pain really comes from.
And the owner class doesn't want that discussion to happen. Because it would come out that they don't pay their fair share of the tax burden, which would keep orphan-crushing machines from existing in the first place.
