The point is that it is institutionalized and well beyond the individuals.
The individual who is breaking the law is largely irrelevant here. They will just replace you with someone else who will break the rules because their targets are so unrealistic that the only way to meet them is to cheat.

Firstly bolded, perhaps they don't have the skillset to actually sell the products on their merits, and just want to take the path of least resistance and game the system, as opposed to earn the sale with information. I have seen this in my field, where guys would try and use every slimy trick in the book to sell a warranty or accident and health policy, where as a simple conversation and fact finding session would have netted you an equal result, and a sale. It just might take a little longer.
As to the second bolded part, it is relevant. It says a lot about society if there is an endless stream of people willing to break the law to earn an extra $500 a month.
