Wether the sellers calculation results in a small group of buyers due to high prize or vice versa is entirely his affair and no of the non-buyers. That's economy. Everything else is politics and as such not to be discussed here.

You fail to see that value and price do not need to apply if nothing is ever sold.

Care to debate the morality of hypocrisy? Like espousing the ideals of freeloadism, yet continuing to charge for your book on Amazon.

IMO, the first sale doctrine applies to everything that can be sold. When we speak of books, in the past we spoke of the container for the book, the paperback for instance. You bought the paper and then you resold the paper, the meaning behind the ink printed onto the paper was never yours to buy. So how could it ever be sold??
TBH, I haven't logged onto my Amazon KDP account for awhile. You can get my book on feedbooks if you like,

Funnily enough I included a paypal donation button in that feedbooks version and someone sent me 1.50 from India the other day
The moral obligation to compensate the creator? Why wouldn't you feel morally obligated to contribute to the creator of a work that has had an impact upon your life?
