It's like banking fees for international transactions where there wasn't any real justification for some of the prices the retail banks charged for them but it made them money.

If it’s a price-gouging issue then UK regulators can and should intervene. Given the period of charge-free roaming we’ve just had, there is presumably the beginnings of a case already. I noticed that EE carefully justified its move by earmarking the additional revenue for UK network expansion, which is a pretty blatant attempt to align with present government targets on the rollout of 5G and overall improvement in coverage. The networks must all be aware that they’re not going to get away with high charges for nothing, especially when the present government may be quite sensitive to Press stories blaming it on Brexit.
