Walmart has low margins, too. Still a very profitable business, because the raw revenue numbers are so huge. The same applies to health insurance.

Right, but with a low profit margin you get stagnation and monopolies.

No one is looking at absolute raw numbers, investors/owners usually only own small slices, so they care about what percentage return they get.
