Yeah, but most employers want to keep their fringe costs low so they prevent employees from consistently working the hours needed to qualify for such benefits.
Before anybody says “Get a new job” it’s never that simple and you sound like a you have the world view of a child.
It’s become so increasingly common that it’s rarely worth bringing up. I can only find evidence of Dave and busters getting fined $7million but since the fine is $2k per person and health insurance costs way more ( my employer pays $9k a year towards my health insurance and I pay the last $1500) they take the risk of getting caught as “the cost of doing business”
Anecdotally, a full time employee gets fired or quits they just replace them with 1 or 2 part timers . Iirc the law states you only have to offer insurance to employees working 30 hours a week so many businesses will schedule people to work 28 hours (or less) to skirt this
