I love to see anything pushing toward destroying this stigma. Sex is natural and wonderful, and sex workers are workers providing a valuable service.
Valuable is not the same as ethical
There's nothing unethical about a sapient, consenting adult providing sexual services for money for/with another sapient, consenting adult.
I strongly disagree. Prostitution tends to come along with drug use, violence, abuse and human trafficking. It tends to be a act of desperation. I heard a story where a young girl was selling herself for around 7 USD because she was desperate for heroin.
But these aren't issues with the profession, these issues stem from a wide range of factors including but not limited to poor support for- and an ever present societal stigma toward- victims of drug addiction, victims of abuse, and sex workers in general.
(and also, sex work doesn't just mean escorting services - selling pictures of your feet online is sex work)
