Why you think it's ethical that hormonal birth control's risks are shouldered by women only when using barrier methods or abstinence is shouldered by both men and women.
If you insist on looking it as merely transactional, then they are providing sex, and possibly, exclusive sex (in commited relationships). Most would reckon that very valuable.
I also challenge the risk is low. It is among the greater of risks among drugs. And for no medical benefit. They in fact are reproductive poisons. The same "benefit" (non conception of children) can be achieved with barrier methods (no side effects) or abstinence (no side effects).

Who's risk? And what financial gain?
