There's a bunch of stuff alleged there, but I'm still not clear on what you think the "problem" is?

As this piece about the dismissal of the first case notes: https://nationaljeweler.com/articles/10782-former-employees-...

"[...] it is not illegal to violate Rolex policies or to sell watches on the gray market."

The other allegations (immigration fraud, income tax evasion, etc.) don't seem to be especially related to the market price of watches.

If the market value of watches is actually much higher than what they go for at retail, the "problem" of lack of availability is effectively being caused by watchmakers a) making too few watches and/or b) not setting the retail price of their watches high enough.

It's against the Rolex Authorized Dealer terms. Authorized Dealers are supposed to sell the watches retail only. It not being illegal doesn't have much to do with it.
