It’s hard to tell the difference between companies who really can’t afford to pay a living wage and companies who can afford to pay a living wage but who would rather not have to. I suspect that much of the reason that people think companies that can’t afford to pay a living wage shouldn’t exist, is the fact that the latter category will, if given a chance, pretend to be the former, and the only way to prevent this is to ban them altogether.
