Except... they can, and they do. There are plenty of companies out there that don't act like scumbags, its low hanging fruit and almost a meme at this point but CDprojektRed is a classic example. And just about anything published by Devolver is pretty non-predatory, and there a plenty of indie studios making bank without being shifty, like Risk of Rain 2 that just released, or the even more recent Mordhau.
