some dogs prefer to sleep in a cage and also some dogs like to chew things when your not there

They’re still expected to behave and chewing things other than toys isn’t reasonable

Or maybe the dog has separation anxiety or is just an avid chewer? My dog loves her kennel and will happily lay in it through out the day even when I’m home. Most people work and can’t have their dogs with them 24/7 and can’t let their dogs free roam the house since they’re too young and/or too destructive and that by no means makes anyone a bad owner. I leave my dog in her kennel for 2-6h a day due to mine and my boyfriends work schedules since she will chew things apart when home alone even AFTER going to the dog park for an hour. And then I take her for a long walk when I get home even if it’s -30 out, this is our routine. So stop owner shaming just because you do things differently.
