Your personal feelings about the practice notwithstanding there are instances of God-sanctioned plural marriage in the Bible.If a business picks up too many contracts for one person to handle, you hire more, and you can take a step back from personally running each contract. Its utterly different from a marriage and the comparison is frankly bizarre to me.
A marriage is a lived partnership between two people. If one of those two has to divide their time up between multiple partners (and their partners children) you cant hire a crew to make up for the lost intimacy as your time and attention is split into halves or quarters.
Not only this - but when practicing polygamy - a man was not required to take on more wives than he could handle.
In fact - men who had difficulty providing for just the one wife and their children were not required or encouraged to participate in the practice.
I don't know why you assumed that this practice required men to take on more than they could chew.
