V isn't really portrayed as dying because of systemic problems, though, he's dying because of his weird individual problem of installing a prototype brain chip. He could just as easily have not installed it and been no worse off: the run's already fucked and he gets killed by Dex anyway.

If there wasn't such a strong incentive in the system to become wealthy, V possibly wouldn't ever try to get into problematic situations like the Konpeki heist.

Night City is known as the city of dreams because it offers the rich and powerful all the comforts money can buy, and a quick way there is merc work. If you don't have money, you're less than nothing.
