I don't think we're disagreeing. I'm firmly stating that low margin goods are almost never worth the shelf space if companies can avoid them, and that this is a huge negative externality of a capitalistic system.
The low margin good is better for me as a consumer, and worse for the store.
This is also why grocery stores HATE carrying produce, and fucking love selling alcohol. Is that a good thing?
You're making an economic argument. I'm making a value argument.
