tw, you fundamentally mischaracterize (or misunderstand) the "purpose of a _____ company". It is not to move a product or material, it is to make money, a profit. If moving water or moving money gets gets that done, great; if fees and tolls are helpful toward that end, fine; if imaginary things have to made real (like the need for a V-8 engine or home ownership for anyone) and real things need regarded as imaginary (like the damage caused by toxic waste or toxic mortgages), so be it. Let the profits commence, let them mount unto the sky, and beyond.

Profit, not transportation, is the purpose of a company. Do not lose sight of that.
