If I want genuine from-the-seashore seashells, wouldn't you be providing
a service by selling them to me?

Not EVERY service in life is "vital" -- but they're still important to
SOMEBODY!

That's not big business' fault -- that's YOUR fault, the consumer,
because you would buy the $25,000 car before you'd buy the $40,000 car,
so naturally, if I'm making cars & I need to feed my family, I'm going
to look for a way to offer for sale a $15,000 car!

Don't blame ME(the businessman) because I need to pay my employees and I
need to pay rent/taxes/etc.!
