It all comes down to perceived value (law of supply and demand). In viewing the profit model and how we do business in most cases, people become wealthy by providing value to those who are willing to pay for it.
We buy cell phones and pay for access to them because we see the value of paying as much for that product and set of services. But people are making a lot of money from it. Is that a problem?
