First, I don't see why it should be any easier. The sole purpose of sweating is to have a loophole that allows to call the game technically free. If someone actually tries to squeeze through that loophole and get stuck, it's no one's but their own problem. Second, any improvement to sweating would just increase the amount of people willing to sweat accordingly and drop the value back or even lower. There are 150+ blueprints and many missions that use sweat and the addition of each of them only spiked the price up slightly for a few weeks.
I don't have any problems with people trying to play for free as long as they don't position themselves as an oppressed class and demand a relief. It's not the only free game in the world, It's not vitally necessary to play this game, no one is dying of hunger from not being able to earn ped since everyone has at least a PC and internet and essentially has access to way more lucrative ways of toiling for peanuts, if it comes to that.
