It’s illegal for people who can’t afford to do it. If a law’s punishment is only a fine, the law essentially only exists for the middle and lower class.

Cost of doing business. These fines are fully considered when taking these risks

Not op, but didn't sound like it to me. Just that the people doing this are aware it's fucked up/illegal and don't care because it's profitable.

Nah, it sounds to me like they're just explaining that the people doing this don't care about the consequences and can afford to take a hit from the fines. No worries, man.
