Note that this is a complaint about morality, not about moneymaking.
Making money is aligned with satisfying some desires of some people. But morality is all about the messiness of divergent and unaligned humans and sets of humans (and non-human entities and future/potential humans who don’t have any desires yet, but will at some point).
It would be so lovely had we lived in a world where any means of moneymaking helped us move uphill on the global morality landscape comprising the desires of all beings. That way, we can make money without feeling guilty about doing it. Designing a mechanism like this is probably impossible.

That’s an eloquent way of describing morality.
