It is the other way round. Restricted distribution drives up the price and allows entities to profit. That is how copyright and pretty much any other monopoly works.
Just try to profit from free (libre) software distribution. You can set whatever price you want and try to sell it, like, for example, https://conversations.im/ https://conversations.im/ does, but you will get no profit besides what you get from selling additional services and making donations more convenient.
