Would you care to provide an example of such a product, to dissuade this perceived demographic cohort? I am not so certain your creative name calling will yield much results, however.

Go to a pharmacy and look at the shelves and you will find such products. All made by companies looking for a profit.
Or just look everywhere around you, and you will see things made by corporation for their profit, which you have purchased to enrich your own life.
There is no profit that is larger than your survival and your health. It's not even comparable. How can you value money above your own life?
Besides, most life saving and health saving medicine is cheap, so it doesn't matter if some revolutionary committee thinks they are "overpriced".
Microsoft Windows is a great example that people will get really angry about, but like bubble gum also enriches the producer, seller and buyer.
Bubble gum puts the buyer in a worse dental health situation.
Windows is a monopoly that controls the desktop market and the buyer would have been better off with a richer market with a variety of options.
You could have said cigarettes. They provide the same pleasure benefits as gum with unhealthy outcomes for the buyer.
With Windows, I didn't assert that it was the value maximizing case, merely that it benefits both parties. Which it does, mostly likely to the advantage of the buyers.
Businesses that expand their licensing agreements with Microsoft aren't doing it because they are being coerced.
Is your life not enhanced by these products?
What are we “supposed” to be like?
