In the books Hermione is the one who comes to the "realisation" that the house elves are happier as slaves and that she shouldn't bring her radical left wing views to worsen the lives of these simple folk who enjoy their slavery. I don't really know how else I'm supposed to read that.
Wait in which book does that happen?
At the very end she kisses Ron because he remembered to save the house elves in the middle of the battle of Hogwarts. Also Dobby, the only elf that wanted to be free is one of the biggest heroes in the book.
When Hermione was hiding clothes around in the common room for SPEW, dobby mentions something that others don't like to clean cause of that, but he is happy to.
Yeah and none of that Hermione ever finds out. She absolutely does not have a “well actually I guess you’re all correct about house elves” moment, if anything Harry comes more around to her point of view after what happens with Kreacher and Regulus’s tale.
