They don't make any money unless they give the customers what they want, that's the whole point. It's so basic even animals have an instinct for it. That's why government and private business shouldn't be mixed.

Animals have the instinct to shit in front of you and not feel the slightest discomfort doing so too. Should we all start shitting in front of each other to more closely align our behavior to animal instincts?
