If everyone were thinking logically and were concerned about their peds, yes. But they (we) are not. People use crafting as a high stakes slot machine, throwing thousands of peds into amp or breer crafting in hopes of getting a valuable BP or HoF, which leads to high ore prices.
This also means that the market is flooded with items the "gamblers" are crafting, and their price becomes so low you can't craft them if you want to break even. Other higher level bp's use very rare ingredients that hardly drop at all, which means price to craft is too high.
Unless you are ready to spend 100k peds on your crafting I see very little reason to enter the profession at all. But who knows, maybe one day
MA will make crafting the best profession in the world
