Only because a handful of obscenely wealthy people need it to be that way for them to maintain their power and way of life.
I think what those companies are doing can safely be described as far beyond just making a reasonable income for what they do.
You are being played. I won't even take you as far as the possibility of a stateless, classless, moneyless society, way way before that we can get to the point where money isn't an obstacle because it is equally and equitably distributed. It is possible, it's the people who want to exploit you and others' labour as well as the world's resources for their own personal profit that are telling you you need this system that keeps them untouchable, why would you believe anything they say?
