Yes, a lot of what you mention is outrageous. But it is more so outrageous if it happens within the same field. E.g. as an experimental particle physicist i can expect my research to be expensive and thus i can expect to also be granted more Money by funding agencies (or access to those facilities at reasonable prices).
This does not happen at ML. most of this research will not be reproducible by independent parties. And given the extend of errors, under-reporting and misreporting in this field, this is bad for science.
I gave examples from the same field, I am talking about the same fields where academia funding is much smaller (and includes many more people, as a counterbalance to that) than industry.
