They provide a service and they charge for that service. What part about this is so villainous?

I agree that is not a consumer friendly situation but on the grounds that it because its effectively a duopoly and not because they charge for a service they provide.

These monopolies never benefit the consumer. The best ways to approach this are 1. the government to break up the duopoly, 2. a competitor to come along to introduce more competition, or 3. the consumer can get fed up and go back to using cash or carry a laptop around to transfer bitcoin until said companies are forced to break up and consolidate to a better product. These solutions are tried and true.

I am tired of hearing people complain about a service and still continue to use the service.
