That depends entirely upon the context. There are many situations where not tipping is rude. There are also situations where tipping is rude. "Rude" is a quality related to social expectations. You can be unintentionally rude due to ignorance of the norms, and that doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. But if you knowingly refuse to tip when tipping is expected for a provided service, then you're a shitbag.

Not those refusing to pay them properly?

If you knowingly buy chinese goods produced with slave labor you're a shitbag and they're a shitbag. There can be more than one shitbag in the chain.

Mine was too at first. Lemmings be lemmings. It kind of acts like when reddit started doing "vote fuzzing". I don't pay them any mind.

If someone is not even attempting to getting the law that allows their core income to come from tips changed that makes one complicit and therefore obligated to tip.

If you are fine with server's primary income coming from tips then you are obligated to tip.

Yes, the people refusing to pay them properly are the shitbags. The employer is a shitbag, and the customer who refuses to tip is a shitbag.
