Based on the one survey of former contributors that has been conducted (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), this doesn't figure highly enough to demonstrate the kind of significant minority you suggest. Rather, the concerns of those surveyed are overwhelmingly about how rulebound, overly complex, and unfriendly their work in the community seemed to be. Perhaps somebody would care to go back through the full survey responses and see if they can identify comments that fit the "I was being exploited" line you're pushing here. I would prefer to hope that as the foundation's community department works to develop the fundraising and messaging, it will also create and improve upon initiatives that lead to a better community environment, as that seems to be the dominant problem.
