I think it's a totally fair question, and something we tend to lose sight off. Not just in the more general sense of "asking if they could, but never if they should." Instead, "profitability" is seen as a moral good in and of itself.

I also think that it's a case sometimes of getting the job and then making post hoc rationalizations.
