Not at all. The bias that I have comes after the fact and knowing the facts. The Sahabah were the best of the followers of the Best of Mankind (SAW). This is not just a title but a testimony of others. People would rather be enslaved by Muslims rather than live under their own kings in documented history. The slaves have rights - the pioneers of employment law - the Muslims. If you don’t own a business and you work for a company. Guess what? You are a modern slave! Yes, that is what it meant to be a slave in early Islam - an employee.
The conjugal relations didn’t come without a price to the men they had to pay for upkeep. Rapist military men do not have to do this, rather they probably steal food and break their houses while they are at it. For them rape is part of the war … it is part of the attack. You can never compare that with the slavery that was itself a norm of the day but it was given a reasonable standard when our dear prophet (SAW) came. You can say it is bias, but I say first compare apples with apples.
