Welcome to capitalism.

These individuals put in the time, money and effort to find these rocks, its only right they profit from them, that is how capitalism works. If researchers want them they could buy them like anyone else, or go search for them on their own dollar.

Tell me, what are you going to say the same thing when the first NewSpace firm brings a load of Moon rocks back and sells them to colelctors?

This is after all what commercial space is all about - MONEY.
