Shrodinger's market conditions.

Something is either a diversified commodity subject to strict free market competition, razor thin margins and highly elastic supply/demand or it's a shithole of regulatory meddling and inelastic supply/demand with long feedback loops. Which it is depends on what political position you are trying to advance.

False dichotomy.

Also, the cause not being greed doesn’t mean it’s inexplicable. There is probably a problem that can be fixed. It’s just not wishing upon a star that people were less greedy.

Yeah, just tainting something with motivated reasoning without utilizing it solely is absolutely a thing.

Not my fault Schrödinger didn't leave room for all the nuance of market conditions.

Not to say I agree with "hurr durr it's greed". Usually if something is inexplicably wacky and fucked up it traces back to Nth order effects of regulations, not necessarily in the same jurisdictions.
