JK Rowling did expand a bit on SPEW afterwards:
"Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk."

That doesn't clear up the "do House Elves like their condition or not" debate but it does show that at least, all of those who don't like it, they get to have a choice after Deathly Hallows, which is something that they didn't have. Before, they could very well be happy to serve a family for no pay other than food and lodgings, but they couldn't choose which family they'd work for and couldn't leave either. I guess Hermione found a middle ground between her initial idea of SPEW and the wishes of the House Elves.
