    That may not actually be true.

    This is where your thinking doesn’t align with modern day Capitalists. You’re thinking about the scenario where it might not make a profit, but the capitalists think about the scenario where it could make a profit. It’s a question of potential. If there is potential to make even more money (and in this case there is) then that’s a business case that needs to be explored. It ultimately doesn’t matter if it actually makes them less money, the potential gains matter more.
