No, I think the owner gets screwed by the contractor. The sub is just resorting to any means necessary to get paid. The owner has the opportunity to exercise a hold back and, regardless, is not going to be on the hook for all amounts due and owing to the sub.
I do agree that the system is a little wacky.
