A pharmacy is a terrible example, as medicine is grossly overpriced for exactly the reason you state. The "users" may be getting "enriched" but the pharmacy is profiting a substantial order of magnitude more.

How could any pharmaceutical seller profit more than a patient whose life is saved by medicine?

There is no profit that is larger than your survival and your health. It's not even comparable. How can you value money above your own life?

Besides, most life saving and health saving medicine is cheap, so it doesn't matter if some revolutionary committee thinks they are "overpriced".
