Wait why is that ideal?

  It maximizes the profits

    >It maximizes the profits The suggested ideal[0] was: Boeing wouldn't have any engineers, workers and facilities and they will just sell planes without delivering any. Which is fraud. A criminal offense. One could capture even more profit by selling a product to someone, take their money and then murder them and take the product back (or just take the product back with violence, whether or not death occurs), that maximizes profits even more. Why don't we do that instead? Because It's wrong? I'd say my example is different from GP's only by degree, but is the same in that they're both criminal offenses (felonies, in fact). Then again, if it "maximizes profit," what's bad with that? In fact, what's with this whole "criminal law" thing anyway? All this stuff should be handled via arbitration paid for by the seller.

      Why would be a fraud if that's the thing they agreed on?
