Well, not universally. It’s a tradeoff. If what you said was universally true Apple wouldn’t exist; Spirit Airlines wouldn’t be bankrupt, etc.

Apple sells to half the American population. And by definition many of them are poor.

Spirit was broken by oil prices which everyone pays the same for. (There is no cheaper jet fuel alternative).

Not a good comparison to the point of wrong conclusions.
