Sure, it's their prerrogative to continue squeezing their franchisees as much as they can and make their work as hard as they can.

If I wanted to lose money there are less painful ways than being a McD franchisee.

McD's actual business is on real estate/franchise fees. The food business is secondary and is a justification for the first. Guess which part is risky and complicated?

Abusive monopolistic behavior if left unchecked can lead to great evil. This was recognized a long time ago and led to anti monopoly legislation and enforcement. Just think what would have happened to the internet if AT&T‘s stranglehold over the connection of equipment to telephone lines had continued.

Strangling is not a prerogative of the strongest.
