Like drug or oil cartels (OPEC), the reasons are obvious and reasonable, but also we don’t like to be grabbed by the balls.
Both parties can have perfectly rational reasons to both exist and hate each other at the same time.

They also don't like being "grabbed by the balls" in a few years time when demand inevitably recedes. It's pretty obvious that people here are throwing a temper tantrum because they need to pay more, and companies aren't rushing in to raise supply, even if they themselves admit such actions would be dumb.
We’re consumers so of course we’re the good guys (/s)
