Isn’t the general goal of having a business making it profitable?

Yes it is business’ goal to be profitable. Unless you’re a regulated utility, then you don’t have to worry, just raise your rates.
But its not government’s job to make them profitable either. It’s government’s jobto take care of the people it represents and that includes business owners and employees. By design you can’t serve just one master. So anything government does regarding wages or regulations orapprovals for projects, its going to affect somebody negatively.
