Monopoly pricing is problematic, but it doesn't make anything inherently worse. Price is important but not a problem with the product itself. It doesn't make the product "shitty". That's a different but connected thing.

It's bad in the sense that it indicates artificially restricted output such that either fewer people can participate in the market or that people have to do with less than what a competitive market would allow.
