And what do you think the solution to this problem is?

I don't think there is one. If the site didn't offer skins, people would complain and ask for it. They allow it, it becomes unpaid labor.

I'm guessing some people think that artists deserve to be financially compensated for their skins in real life money. I don't think that's feasible because that opens another whole can of worms legally.

If they did that, they wouldn't be able to make as many skins available. It'd be a sitewide version of the festival skins.

I never said there was a problem. I was originally saying that the comparison between this situation and actual strikes isn't as far off as people think it is. I don't think skin artists should be paid or anything; volunteering and user-generated content is a thing and it has to be handled ethically, that's all.
