are they wrong though?

if you're a person who mostly cares about profits which one do you accept

research 1: we're on our way to cure [rare illness]! we just need funding to find and develop the proper formula, we need x million for the budget, and the drug itself is not likely to be expensive and will be one time use/short therapy

research 2: we're going to tackle [not really common but not quite rare illness], we need x million for the budget, we probably won't cure it but a weekly dose of the drug will help those affected

now think like the only thing that matters is your profits, research 1 will cure people, and sure you could make the cheap drug cost $100000 but the researches could turn against you and release their research to the public losing you profit. and even if they don't you'll need to balance the price to turn in some profit in as short amount of time as possible. if the illness is rare that means there isn't many people who are affected, and those people are not likely to be rich - why bother

research 2 on the other hand is an easy investment, people will need that drug forever so you can set the price low enough for most to be able to barely afford and get your sweet sweet money back with profits fast

remember you don't become a billionaire being charitable, you become a billionaire by cutting corners and milking as much money out of those below you as possible
