Supply exceeded demand, it happens.

Demand increases to meet supply?

Not all products have an infinite demand curve though. In this case, a luxury product with a finite consumer base. Even if they gave it away for free, there will still be the majority of the population who will not want to use it.

unlike things like groceries, which have a constant demand due to being staples and required for life sustenance. If you gave them away for free, you end up with Hoarding and unlimited demand.
