That's kind of how capitalists and their 'businesses' work. If something becomes not profitable enough, one of the available strategies is to reduce expenses on that thing. If there is no way to draw profit from it any further, they can just close the relevant filial, or stop the production of the relevant commodity, or stop the relevant service.
This is actually a literal textbook example of what a capitalist would do, covered in introductory economics courses.
