That profit comes from externalizing pain to others while capturing their livelihoods.
To call not doing that "voluntary waiving parts of your salary" is incredibly manipulative.
First these people aren't salaried, they're mercenaries, and of course their "compensation structure" ensures they're largely free of the tax burden that the people they prey on have to endure.
Second, just because you can do sonething doesn't mean it's the rigth thing to do. Not that these people have had a moral belief once in their lives.
It is reallt aberrant all the evils that have been laundered in the name if money.
I think the better question is why do we allow these sick individuals to carelessly wield chainsaws around us?
