Are you aware millions of Americans don’t have such insurance?

Of course I am. Please don't be facetious.

But did you even read the comparison? The drug I showed (which was highlighted on Mark Cuban's pharmacy's home page) was still half as expensive by going to a local Walmart.

They're relying on a marketing campaign that "all other pharmacies are evil!" and they're hoping none of the media outlets bother to double-check their talking points. So far, it's working.

Walmart lowers some prices / raises others based on demand/competition historical prices and are regional. Things are not always cheaper. Everything is part of a huge system trying to extract the most profits.

Here is a tip for killing a product at a walmart store:

Buy a product out for 2/3 months. Inventory will raise. Stop buying the product. Walmart will delist. Do this at a few stores and get it delisted regionally. Do this to a few regions to kill it nationally. It could be a product that walmart carried for years.. they will still delist.

But as to the OP’s point, Mark’s pharmacy is still more expensive for those drugs.

Needing to have it shipped is not a simple "more expensive".

Going to a store costs money. It also costs time. It's pretty easy for that to hit $5.

People need groceries. They're going to the store anyway.

If you can wait for a mail-order prescription to arrive, you can probably wait until your next grocery shopping trip to get it filled in person.

Most drugs aren't sitting there on the shelf of my local grocery store. And I don't go to Walmart 'anyway'.

You haven't found a drug that's "more expensive", you've just found that shipping is a cost.

Look at the prices yourself, Cost Plus is cheaper for most of them.
