I see this complaint everywhere. People mentioning business setting prices to maximize profits, like it’s a bad thing.

In a market with competition, that maximum profit point is also the point of maximum value to the consumer. Because business is a negotiation, not a dictatorial relationship.

I don’t understand why people don’t understand this.
