Shock collars aren't inherently abusive. However your average person is already an abusive dog owner so adding to that mix a tool that requires good knowledge, sense and emotional maturity to use correctly is a recipe for disaster as has been seen with the insecure narcissistic champagne socialist.
I've been around all sorts of people who work with all sorts of dogs and the thing I consistently see is that a shock collar should be used as a communicative tool and not a corrective one. You should use low settings for off leash dogs to get their attention for recall, because physical sensation is much more powerful to the senses than audio and dogs tend to get tunnel vision.
You shouldn't however use a shock collar to force a dog to do things or pushing a dog. Using a collar to inflict discomfort onto a dog to give it an aversion to leaving its bed so you can use it as a prop on your stream for your sycophantic, mongoloid fans is categorically misuse and abuse.
