Yes, that seems to be the case.
It is simply an illusion of choice if Kath gives a future housegirl or Carnation the option of a "bad choice" and a worse "option b"! Take Rosi, she is a prime example of the false choice Kath gives others. Rosi has the choice between not taking part in the sadistic games Kath devices and just facing the "tender mercies" of "just Oliver" for her daughter and herself. That is no choice at all. And happy? How do you come to the conclusion are happy taking the poisoned chalice Kath, Chuck or August offers them?
Lucy and Felicia are exceptions from the norm, because Lucy is too stubborn to admit that another school for her kid is quite good as well. And Felicia is the biggest exception of all, since it is mentioned several times that she is the first to be in the games of her own free will. Those on Feli´s path know the real reason she is there, but she is the only one(!) who could throw in the towel and not being in a worse position afterwards.
August does not make the life of some housegirls or Carnantions miserable himself, but has few problems accepting newbies from his gangster connections. And these girls are also under duress, see the new one Otto brought. August is the only one the owners who is selfaware enough to see he is not a good person.
Pardon me, but here you are completely on the woodway. Kath keeps the experiment a secret because it becomes clear from early on that she wants more power in the Club. It seems Abel and Sophia said they would help her gaining more power, that is the only reason Kath keeps the experiment a secret from the others! Not because of the cruelness, Kath and Chuck get off on this! And if it helps make money, August is okay with nearly everything. They would not care a bit about the experimentation done! The secrecy is because Kath tries to nurture an independent trump card in her own ppowerplay.
Abel and Sophia loath the PC owners, that is very clear. The current alliance between them and Kath is one of convenience nothing more.
As said, it is not certain how cruel the testing Sophia does really is! It is not shown unlike stuff the PC owners condone, like, get off of and do or let do. And I am astonished that you find Chuck less creepy, esp. since it was insinuated several times how bad he is. Doc Sophia is calculating, cool to cold, amoral, a "the endgoal sanctions the means" type and certainly dangerous when she needs to be. When such a person states she finds someone scary, you should be doubly warned!
Sophia also tests the stuff on herself and she is certainly not one who will take a lethal risk! I see a high probabilty that the person in the secret basement is only still alive, because Sophia does what she does. As said, under other circumstances Warren or the others would have killed the test subjcct already. It was mentioned several times what is the normal outcome if someone crosses the PC club the wrong way.
