Do you read the fine print of every product you buy or use? Just because a wall of text says something doesn’t make it “justified” from a laypersons perspective. If Google banned you from all their products tomorrow would you think it’s “justified” simply because the ToS says they can?

OP is wrong, but it’s nicer to offer a constructive explanation, as above posters have done. Namely, airlines don’t make money simply by flying you X distance for Y dollars, but from a complex pricing scheme (that also involves fees, credit cards, etc). If they allowed everyone to skip segments, they’d have to raise prices dramatically to stay in business.
