When you present the relationship as purely extracting value

It is. The consensuality of it is irrelevant. When someone works for you, they are making considerably less money than they are generating for you. That's how employment works.

And your boss certainly doesn't give a fuck if your wages are enough to cover living expenses.

and not a consensual exchange of wages for labor

The only reason anybody works for an Amazon warehouse is because they need money to survive.

So yes, framing it as a "consensual" exchange is technically true, but also completely ignores the socioeconomic pressures (many of which are the direct or indirect result of wealth hoarding from the ruling elite) that cause people to agree to otherwise shitty terms of employment.
