Yes, but the point is that rent seeking profits come from things which don’t contribute to economic productivity, which is the accusation being discussed. Having non-zero costs doesn’t imply that you’re not rent seeking.
I didn’t claim that and neither did the commenter before me. The commenter implied that, because the operation has non-zero costs, it must not be rent seeking. I offered a correction.
The problem is that you have really only little competitors on the market.
Eg. Microsoft 365 namely being the one that has outgrown any competitors that can seriously threaten them. They can dictate the prices and they do it willy-nilly and there is no-one that forces them to be cheaper.
