Obviously, some should. Just like some actors should give up on being paid for their acting or basketball players who should give up on being paid to play basketball.
I know whining is a national pasttime but when a self-described author whined to me that you couldn't do anything without a big-name agent I pointed out that Pat Conroy did. He shurgged it off.
Reality does not intrude on a good whine.
