Making profits for doing something useful and not overtly harmful is commended. If you provide a needed service, and you do it without harming others, then everyone is happy.
But there are many, many, many examples where the harm is very clear. This is one of those cases. The only reason 53% (supposedly) of the Dutch population support the farmers is because they don't know the full story.
If I come into your neighborhood and do something which gives me a big profit but screws you and your neighbors, should my profit-seeking be commended? Or should we evaluate the real cost?
