One of the most successful drugs in recent times was one that actually cured a previously chronic and not curable disease. It was also a controversial one because it was very expensive. But Solvadi, which cured Hepatitis C was certainly a huge commercial success and shows that the whole idea that pharma companies are never incentivized to cure diseases instead of treating them is just wrong.

Nice example, but one exception doesn’t disprove a trend.

What trend? In which cases specifically are companies avoiding to create a cure that would be possible and promising?

What trend? You need to show evidence of cures being suppressed many times to indicate any kind of trend.

Any trend. I’m not making a claim—simply a logical statement. Those making claims need to show evidence.
