It's not hypothetical. It's a real risk. You know, like a possible outcome has a certain estimated probability of occurring. Risk analysis is one of the things companies do when they make decisions. No-one is justifying here. This is just a conjecture about why it's in their interest to shut it down, contrary to impassioned arguments about how much money they could make to keep it. It's not a "justification" because no moral dimension has been mentioned here.
