[Star Wars] Why is everybody ok with droid slavery?

Unfortunately this is a somewhat contentious topic, but lets try and keep things civil and within sub rules.

1) So, through Star Wars, most of the main characters are opposed to slavery of organics, and many galactic governments (try to) prohibit it. Some characters make efforts to free slaves when they find them. 

2) Some robots are clearly sentient/salient/people, with intelligence, emotions and capabilities equal to those of organics. Despite this, droids are not seen as people and are freely traded and owned as property even under governments that ban slavery.

3) these two facts seem to be in conflict with eachother. Why do Jedi who are willing to risk their lives to save organic slaves not bat an eye about droid slavery?

Droids are purpose built to be slaves. They don't have any choice or purpose beyond that initially. The only time droids develop a personality is through owner negligence that don't regularly wipe their memories. Droids like c3-p0 are built with faked personalities but aren't truly alive or feeling for quite some time. Most droids that develop enough quirks to become self aware are fairly rare in the Galaxy and typically go on to do whatever they were built to do just with expectations of pay and fair treatment until someone wipes them. Restraining bolts are used for places where wiping a memory is either too time consuming or too detrimental to be used. The bolt just ensures that some programing is always overriding whatever the droid is thinking. 

Yes it is slavery but it's not an intended design feature. They're tools and spare parts that can become sapient if they're poorly maintained. There's little to no consensus on what qualifies as sentience in the galaxy and sapience would be even harder to define. Most people just treat droids as being defective tools that sometimes are better broken than in original form. Regardless the real reason no one wants to do anything about droid slavery is the same reason our world won't address GMO foods. We can't all agree on what is and isn't good about them and we can't just replace the whole thing and start over.
