You are aware that 98% of the highly educated people (i.e. the authors and the reviewers of papers) are not compensated at all? Sure, they're paid to do the research by their employer, but they never see a dime from the journal.

I am aware of that---I've written and reviewed several peer-reviewed papers. Maybe many of the journals are making money hand over fist. But I've become suspicious of arguments of the form "that seems like a high price, therefore they must have huge margins". Sometimes the price is high because the market is small.
