Don't see anything wrong with making as much money out of projects as possible (with the usual "maintaining standards" provisos). The hand wringing "what level of profit is acceptable" debate or the immorality of making a profit argument seems to me to ignore the reality that only through making decent profits (and yes, through also having a decent employer) do staff receive the types of benefits available in other professions/industries, e.g. terms and conditions inclusive of decent pay levels, training, active H and S policies, bonuses etc.
Obviously there is a level of archaeological cost beyond which developers will refuse, but I'd suggest that it is much higher than they are often currently charged.
Happiness depends on ourselves.
