You’d think a highly profitable company like Apple wouldn’t do this, but yet they do. Absolutely abhorrent

"Why did/how could _________ do this?"

Someone did the math, and this was more profitable.

Large corporations will almost always do whatever it takes to make $1.05 instead of $1.00.

I’m aware of how cold and soulless the system is. It is just that you’d assume the person making the decisions isn’t a robot.

Humans made this decision. This is not "the system". It's greedy people.
