This strikes me as a very 'glass half-empty' way of looking at film production.

Kodak needed to increase film-prices because their existing facilities weren't able to keep up with increasing demand. I constantly experienced this myself last year, as there were periods when Portra wasn't available in various speeds in 120-format from my normal suppliers. The intention is to balance supply and demand, and use the extra revenue to invest in more efficient production.
