.... therefore we need to build and violently enforce a legal regime to ensure that content profiteers can extract 100% profit from every transaction?

I don't make the rules. Blame shareholder fiduciary responsibilities or the spineless politicians. Corporations are gonna corporate

By that logic you can't blame the politicians because they got bribed, and you can't blame the citizens because of corporate propaganda and voila! No one has moral responsibility for anything

Politicians' fiduciaries are their constituents though, so they are the failure there though if they allow corporations to get away with long term harm
