Companies don’t just want to make a profit, they want to make the largest profit. Plenty of businesses turn down profitable ventures in pursuit of more lucrative returns.

Why would they do that if they aren't mutually exclusive to one another? I'd get this notion if they'd started to do some sort of alternate way of providing for the SK market where their original platform would have been in the way but why close off profitable branches for no reason at all?

Because an organization or person only has so much bandwidth and attention. You can’t infinitely scale to grab every bit of profit.
