I disagree, and this line of thinking is positively dangerous.
Just because Ferrari might be capable of making that car for $20k, I don't have a fundamental right to demand it from them any more than I have a fundamental right to demand that you make me a sandwich right now for $5.

Before using the word "they" in a prescriptive sentence, think about whether you could substitute "I" and you would still be happy with it.

I have no issue selling into a competitive market, that’s just how things work for individuals. It’s only at the scale of countries and giant companies that the ability for anti competitive behavior really shows up.
