If people can't afford them then they won't be purchased and the manufacturer will not make a profit. The manufacturer must price it's goods such that they will still be purchased, and higher prices in periods of high demand means people won't buy more than they need. This makes products more available, not less.

Not to poor people, an extremely obvious fact that some people seem to wilfully ignore.

  Yes, it does. Poor does not mean abject poverty. If the good is actually a necessity, someone who is poor is unlikely to refuse spending $20 instead of $10, to avoid death.
