Lower prices for consumers don't "trump all," but they do trump unsupported claims that higher prices are good for everyone. It's obvious that higher prices means more income to publishers and often to authors (not always, that); it's not clear that lowering those prices would cause any problems other than "somewhat less profit for publishers."
