Obviously any business would like to get the highest possible price for anything they sell and not one dollar less. On the other hand, if a deal provides any net benefit, once all costs are taken into account, a rational company will take it. So if company X refuses a deal that provides it a net benefit just because company Y gets more out of it than company X, and as a result company Y goes to company Z instead, company X has acted foolishly and irrationally.
