Yes I understand your point that their margins may have been excessive already, making them able to absorb reductions to those margins now, but if you are a fan of 21st century free market capitalism, then you know that the concept of "fair profit" disappeared over the past 40 years. It's all about quarterly profit growth now. If a CEO does whatever it take to keep profit growing every quarter, that CEO is rewarded with obscene 7 and 8 figure bonuses. If the CEO says "we're going to have to weather the storm not grow our margins for the next quarter or two", that CEO is simply fired. It's become a binary choice for them.
Companies that aren't run this way have been slowly disappearing for decades. The holdouts have eventually retired and/or been sold to the highest bidder, eager to "unlock" profits.
