The question asked was “Why is it bad to earn a constant (in nominal terms) profit rather than an increasing profit.” The size of the business is irrelevant to this question. I answered the question, the short answer is ‘inflation’.

When responding to a question, I choose to answer the question the person asked instead of another question they didn’t ask.

They didn't say "(in nominal terms)" and businesses are expected to grow in real terms.
