Point in fact, you're incorrect.
'Price gouging' exists (hence the existence of the term). You don't get to deny something exists, just because you don't personally find it's practice to be objectionable.
This "logic" is not much different than denying a murder took place, because "he needed killin'."
When a gas station during a disaster quadruples the price of their gas, and charges $5 for a bottle of water, obviously they're not forcing anyone at gunpoint to buy their goods, but it still IS price gouging.
