Yet it seems to be a major business success, which is what I find so sad. Why doesn't society shun it?

That could be said and asked about so many things.
I watched it to see what all the excitement/hype was about.

Is it only now that popular taste (or fads) has come to worry you?

No.

This thing just made so much noise so I googled to find out what it is and was totally horrified.

SNL did a skit about this, pretty funny.

How dependent is enjoyment of the sketch on knowing the show?

Not much if anything id say its a spoiler of the show. It's just a music video that seems to summarize the show (I didn't watch squid game fully).

Reads like the talking points NK put out about this.

The main part is the podcast. I haven't listened through, but if I understand correctly based on the text  and listening to a few seconds, they are claiming that the background story (highly indebted individuals, great economic disparity, etc.) is a real portrayal of societal problem in South Korea.

I believe Parasite was also meant to highlight this kind of issue in Korea.
