I do not! With a big caveat that ghostwriters need to be paid what they're worth. Tons of people doing gigs on Fiverr for pennies and in any industry, when someone is underpaid that is obviously unfair. So I rally for ghosts getting proper compensation.
But for me, and for colleagues making five to six figures a book, no. We get compensated pretty well to not get the credit. Some ghosts might still prefer some credit, and we do sometimes get acknowledged on the front cover or the acknowledgements of a book, but I see it like anything else. In most industries, you never know who designed a product.
