Those with exclusive access to the commodity make a lot of money. The Saudi Government, which is actually a 'family', are the richest 'family' on earth by leagues. That's there 'the profit is'.
What is the basis for this comparison? Compare the profit margins of a gas station (tiny) versus the profit margin of a company that needs to purchase fuel to operate a factory (could be anything). Or for that matter a company that needs products produced at one of those factories (the rest of us). The benefit is widespread and it's not at all obvious who benefits most, commodity or not.
