Opinion on spousal hires in academia? Imo it's DEI before DEI became hip and cool. Noether didn't need to suck dick to become a professor.

It's just negotiation. If a school wants you badly enough they'll pay more. If a school wants you REALLY badly they'll hire a spouse.

What about the unfortunate students who got scammed into working for a useless appendix thinking they'd make a legitimate advisor?

It's a necessary evil, lots of universities are in small towns and rural areas with few employment opportunities and a professor's spouse is likely to be an educated professional as well, so they wouldn't want to give up their careers to move.
