Lets be clear on how all this works.

Someone made a drug, and they want all of the money for their work.

Maybe that's justified, maybe it isn't.

But because we use money as both our dopamine reward and also the entire basis of how we allocate all scarce resources in our finite reality, and because patents are the only way for them to get said dopamine reward/resources, the strat is to just let millions of people sit in the crossfire while we work out what kind of money they should get.
