He's not entirely wrong, and there are definitely elements of a cult to it. But There is more to it than just that. They certainly aren't obligated to provide all magical girls in the organization with the 'Fake Family' perk and keep them safe on top of that, so they aren't just manipulating them for their own ends. There is a good side to the organization, it just gets missed by outsiders because they only get the fanatical 'kill on sight' intro

But that might just be my opinion.
