Triangle of Sadness (2022) - Movies

I watched this movie on a long plane ride.  Overall, I liked it.  But I have some questions.

The rich lady that forced all of the crew to go swimming despite the chef saying the food will go bad.  It's implied that this is what causes many of the guests to have diarrhea later on, since although the yacht was going through a bad storm, the storm seems like it would only cause vomiting and seasickness, not diarrhea, right?

The vomiting and diarrhea was a bit much, especially the scenes of the backed up toilet.  Yuck.

I am not really sure what the message of the movie was supposed to be.  It was poking fun at the mega-rich by turning the tables on them.  Once they got to the island, it turns out that the lowly ship's maid is the only one who can keep them alive with food.  It would have been nice if the rich survivors acknowledged how lucky they were to be marooned with her and that it caused them to re-think how they treat others who aren't as affluent as them.  But then the lady simply became one of them, flaunting her power and forcing the young model to sleep with her in exchange for food.  That was disappointing, what was the message supposed to be then?  To me, it seemed to be a commentary that no matter who anyone is, anyone in a position of power and wealth ends up treating others poorly.

I'm not sure what to make of the ending.  Yaya discovers they have been living next to a resort the entire time.  Abigail doesn't want them to get rescued because that means she loses all of her power and loses Carl.  So she moves to kill Yaya with a rock.  Then we see Carl frantically running through the forest.

What does this mean?  They were on the other side of the island or at least over a steep hill from the rest.  Not sure if Carl could have heard Yaya scream.  My interpretation is that Carl came across the vendor selling stuff that the German lady encountered and realised this meant that Yaya was in danger.  So he is running to save her.  But I think unfortunately he will be too late.
