The high commissions that many real estate agents make is just one of those "scams" that exist in our society kind of like the 15 -20% that waiters and bartenders make. I put myself through college and funded many overseas backpacking trips by serving/bartering and considering the amount of work that I did and the skill level involved I was overpaid. The chefs made less money than I did and they were much more skilled. It is an injustice that continues in many restaurants to this very day. I have rarely met a real estate agent who impressed me where I thought they could make as much money in a career with a higher skill set as they do with real estate.
