Why assume evil when nature is a sufficient explanation?
Airlines are both commodity businesses--they have no pricing
power--and service businesses--they have inherently high
costs--so they naturally, through competition, fall to no
profit pricing. Space transportation is no different.

So what you're saying is that transportation (space, air, or
otherwise) - as a business - is a relatively pure example of
the sort of "flat and crowded" market in which "racing to the
bottom" may be expected as an emergent behavior?
