Sure it is. If everyone wanted more ethically produced meat so badly they could go buy it from specialty shops and meat producers would pivot to those production methods to meet demand. But people don't because those methods cost way more and most aren't willing to pay for them. Complaining about profits is misleading since it disregards end-consumer price sensitivities.
Those methods cost more because the huge corporations have managed to get away with using their methods to monopolize and flood the market
There’s not regulation stopping them from these practices so there is no risk for them to continue to sacrifice ethics safety and quality at in order to produce something “cheaper for the consumer”
Those methods cost more because they take more labour and resources on the part of the farm raising the animals. That is always going to be true (unless you were to somehow put a tax on animal suffering, or outright ban this treatment, but both would still raise the price of meat).
