Even without understanding pharmaceutical research, your claim to understanding business strategy is braindead: there is not 1 pharmaceutical company. And many pharmaceutical companies work on treatments for the same conditions and diseases.

Why would any competitor sit on a cure for a condition there opponents can only treat when in the short term you'd post amazing next quarter profits, and in the long term you'd financially diminish that competitor in the market place even if we grant the position that you are somehow able to find treatments that aren't cures (others have explained ably why this isn't how it works).

Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't understand anything.
