Well, there's the perspective that it's not "unprofitable" to use a resident, but it's _more_ profitable to use a physician.

The charge is that hospitals are not creating more residencies in order to collude to drive up doctor salaries. Even if residents were profitable, but less profitable than experienced physicians, it would still be a rational business decision—rather than improper collusion—to hire physicians instead of residents.
