No one disagrees that there are poor parents out there that put achievement ahead of their kids.. however I get the impression that you are saying saying that a house where both parents work is always that way. And that's simply not true.
It's not black and white, one or the other. There's great parents who both work because they have to, but they do the best they can.

Parents can parent their kids better than institutions can

Disagree, you're making a blanket statement when it's not a black and white issue. Anyone who's had kids knows that no one is born knowing how to parent well, whereas institutions provide support and knowledge that is otherwise difficult to come by.
I know personally of a number of cases where an institution helped a child become more balanced and well adjusted.
Of course the mother put the child in there with full knowledge that that was the goal, and that the institution was well equipped and experienced to accomplish that goal. So it wasn't a case of "dumping the child" into child storage...
