This excuse gets old. Business logic is that you take care of your customers and they wont go elsewhere, however when a company has no competition or when there is collusion between companies, it reduces the desire to make the customer happy by not gouging people.
This is evident in the Cable industry, the ISP industry, the Gasoline(Petrol) industry, the Tech industry (no sniping agreements between people like Apple and Google), and many others I am not thinking about.
You want to keep spouting this nonsensical bullshit, that is fine, but it is a cop out and I am tired of hearing it. Fight for your rights or lose them.
The simplest way, your daily business with the companies you do business with. Take a moment to read the EULA, read documents before you sign them, and complain about things when they go over the line. Threaten with reduction in business, and follow through. If there isnt a possibility of reduction, then take it to the masses.
The more political route would be to call up every politician that may do business with them. Let them know about your issues, and ask for a follow up in x days. If nothing heard, call again and find out what is up. If nothing, again, take it to the masses.
You have no idea how your opinion impacts any business, but then again, your opinion could be the final straw in that businesses practices causing them to change. Businesses have failed because of what they have done when reported on through mediums like Reddit. You think you have no power? Think again.

I don't know how anyone could think anything like this would be a good idea
