For example, decades ago some pharmaceutical companies developed two new antihistamines with slight improvements (now mostly non-drowsy as doesn't pass the blood-brain barrier as readily, although slightly less effective, but not meaningfully so), for the sole reason being the huge amount of paypigs with allergies available that have no choice but to pay for a pill every single day for the rest of their life if they want relief from allergies.
They sometimes accidentally discover or buy up a drug that cures a condition and of course they charge between $100,000 to $1,000,000 a course in response to that misfortune.
