Unfortunately yes, charging the highest prices the market can bear (and there will be customers who can’t/won’t pay above that) is where unregulated capitalist markets go where there is no/limited competition.

While some customers leave the market (go out of business) this still gives the optimum return provided there are sufficient customers able/willing to pay.
