This "taken for granted" was not some kind of "adaptation" the White Robed Man had made for the sake of "benefits."
It was not that he believed, "If the pay is good enough, abnormal is normal."

Something within the Radiance Society had altered the cognition of its "members."
From this, one could infer that perhaps all "protectors" at the same level as the White Robed Man within the Radiance Society had had their cognition altered.
