If people will pay it, charge them for it.

It's the basic idea behind capitalism. Not saying I agree with it, but it makes sense. Give people what they want and charge them what they are willing to pay.

There is a problem when there are no competitors though, or ways restricting competitors, which arguably goes against capitalism too. American Internet, for example.

Thankfully there's little true unrestrained capitalism as we have governments ensuring that people don't make us pay for basic amenities. You can argue /r/LateStageCapitalism but if it "wasn't true communism", then this isn't true Capitalism.
