Hi Venky. Glad to read your take on this matter. I'm barely getting started on this content corpus you've been passionately building upon for many years now. Wish to help assuage the lacking acknowledgment for your heartfelt investment in creating content on challenging and contentious topics such as these. I appreciate your work!

Chiming in to highlight my observation that the metaphorical equivalence you're drawing between the Prahlada-Hiranykashipu versus the people involved here, suffers the same drawback that you so eloquently mention while defining what's "wicked" about agriculture as a domain itself.

Moreover, I totally agree with your usage of wicked in that sense and would go further on to contend that it's applicable to almost all practical domains of human endeavour.
