Modern economics does operate on the idea that every business's primary goal is to maximize share holder value, but that's distributed across all shares so all ships rise regardless of how many shares you may own. The ideal way to accomplish this is thru putting out better services and products.
Incongruence is in the value collectors perceive themselves. In the larger scheme of things action figures aren't that important compared to other things like infant and toddler toys. Infant and toddler toys are like the meat and potatoes while the adult collector is the parsley garnish on the side of the plate. There isn't a large enough financial incentive to throw other production processes into chaos just to appease the adult collector community.
If you honestly believe that's how the system operates, and you dislike it, then why continue to pay into it? Extricate yourself from the system. Restructure your wants and desires so you pay into systems that you find honorable.
You have no clue, but that's ok, it just means you're like all the other know-it-alls who actually don't. Keep sipping the line just like I did fresh out of The GSB.
