Ok, so what? Even if a company fights to maintain control over their product, there's still a societal benefit even if that benefit has been artificially limited due to price. And while they can delay things to an extent, eventually, they'll lose control over their product as IP protections run out. There are still games that can be played at that point when everything is lined up just right, but those are games that can be addressed through legislation and the courts. I'd rather hideously expensive treatments exist, even if I can't afford them, than live in a world where they're never even an option. Price can and does change over time, and those treatments become more accessible to more people. But if the treatments are never developed in the first place, then that's an even greater tragedy because then there's literally nothing that can be done to make them accessible.
