That's why statements about "greedy businesses" are idiotic. "Greedy business" is redundant. Or course they are greedy. They're supposed to be greedy. That's how the system works. That's why we have automobiles, and airplanes, and computers, and cell phones. That's why we have jobs. That's why we have food on our table.

You're not wrong, but this explanation is incomplete. They are supposed to charge as much as they can, yes, but what they can charge is supposed to be moderated by free and fair competition. Collusion destroys competition and is probably more common today than you think.
