A BMX bike without a rider will roll along happily. We called it "ghost riding" when I was a kid.
There's a little to be said for it, sure.

Shooters keep shooting for as long as they want unless they are forcibly stopped. Number of deaths are directly correlated with the duration of their attack. The sooner the attack is stopped, the fewer total deaths and injuries.
"Run, Hide, Fight" increases any individual's own survival rate, but paradoxically, "Fight, Hide, Run" increases the survival rate of the entire group, even though it greatly increases risks to the "fighters".
Try it with a paintball, airsoft, or squirt-gun wielding attacker and unarmed defenders. Tell the group that as soon as they know where the attacker is, charge him. If you don't know where he is, hide until you figure it out. If there is no place to hide, run away.
It doesn't work that way at all.
Pricing strategy generally calls for optimizing return. They calculated that this company has 342 customers. Each customer adds $28 in costs. The unknown is how many additional customers will choose to buy at a particular price point.
If we halve the price paid by the customer (and add $28 to account for our increased costs) will we at least double our customer base to 684?
If we halve that price again (and add another $28), will we at least double our customer base again, to 1368?
At some point, lowering the price any further will not gain enough customers,, and that is the minimum price we can charge while maintaining our current profits.
If they lowered their price point to, say, $2700/yr, they would only need to add about 5100 new customers to break even with their $42,222 price. I think they would attract a hell of a lot more than 5100 new customers at that price point.
Just to expand your math in a different direction, going from 342 customers to 684 adds $9576 in costs, but cuts the price by 1/2 (plus $28). $21,139.
Going from 684 customers to 1368 adds another $19152. They break even at a $10,598 price point.
From 1368 to 2736 customers adds another $38304 in costs, but reduces the break even price point to $5327.
From 2736 to 5472 customers, another $76608 in costs, and a break even price point of $2685.
They are recouping all their additional costs, and making exactly the same profit charging 5472 people $7/day instead of 342 customers $115/day.
How many of those 1.2 million HIV patients can afford $7/day? If just 1% of them are willing to pay $7 a day, they will more than double their profits.

The NRA supported California's Mulford Act, which prohibited open carry of loaded weapons in public. This act was in response to the Black Panthers choosing to carry guns to deter abusive cops.
The NRA isn't a gun rights organization. They are just Republicans.
Need to add shipping charges to the price...
Gave up before realizing it was an onion. Somehow navigated away from it and couldn't get back.
The problem is that they aren't buying mega yachts. Buying a mega yacht would put ship builders to work.
Instead, they are buying the factories where the workers labor. The are buying the mortgages the workers are paying, the car loans the workers are paying. They are using their money to buy up income-generating financial assets, and spending less than you or I do on actual products and services.
Replace "mega yacht" with "registered security", and we have created a functioning economy.
