Of course, our bodies get used to almost every substance, minimizing its effects, including pain relief. It's called homeostasis. That doesn't mean opiates should not be used to kill pain. They are absolutely invaluable to medicine. Morphine is the gold standard of analgesics. There just isn't anything better.
But yeah, it is reckless and irresponsible usage which makes people addicted. A binge here or there won't make you an addict. But daily usage over months will.

That's the insidious thing about it: it's not bingers and partiers who get hooked on it, it's average people seeking relief from pain. Very sad but, as you say, opioids are the gold standard and are utterly invaluable in medicine. Allowing their sale OTC is unquestionably beneficial imo.

I'd definitely say alcohol is more socially harmful than any hard drug, simply because its usage is far more prevalent.
