That is just begging the question, you didn't explain why it would matter that one is a business. Also it's not clear if that would apply to pro players who are game selecting.

You can easily figure out the games are -EV with simple math, but people choose to play anyway. It's not a nanny state, so you are allowed to ignore math and make stupid decisions if you want to.

The casino runs the risk of going bankrupt just like many casinos have gone bankrupt.

Of course they are openly stating that. The casino is not a charity, it's well understood that they offer games specifically designed to be -EV for the player. The fact that you can abuse a design flaw by counting cards is irrelevant because it's prohibited in the rules. So counting cards is no different than sneaking in invisible ink and marking the cards. In both cases it's against the rules and you'll therefore be banned if you do it. If you don't want to be banned, then follow the rules.

There is nothing wild about it. You are essentially making the argument that the casino is somehow obligated to engage in -EV gambling against certain players. That is quite silly as nobody is forcing the players to be playing -EV games in the first place, they are choosing to pay the stupid tax, thus the casino reserves the right just like anyone else to decide not to pay the stupid tax.
