Oh you see, you could have asked that way up there. And I’d tell you that you’re operating from a flawed premise. Economics actually talks quite a lot about monopoly power and rent seeking.
No you asked why hadn’t they raised prices before. And I was nice enough to let the flawed premise pass, (they have raised them before, they’d be out of business if they hadn’t) and give you the layman’s answer to your layman’s question.
Now you want to say it meant something else, something the English you wrote doesn’t support.

No, I’m asking you to explain why you think prices are arbitrary in contravention of essential economics.

Do you? This is the first you’ve mentioned either. What’s the “monopoly” in the situation we’re discussing?
