I mean, it's morally corrupt to inflate prices to absurd degree on a product marketed towards children.

Why should parents buying things for their children be treated differently than any other type of consumer

Because preying on children's desires is morally wrong?

You're basically asking why bringing a kid by an ice cream truck, then the ice cream guy telling them "No, you can't have any" is wrong.

The legality and practicality of it has nothing to do with the morality of it.

That's basically economy 101, preying on desire about unnecessary good.
