you are incorrectly and unfairly holding QT at fault.

they have to negotiate the license to print the fabrics. the "personal only" is imposed by the owner of the licensed images, not by the fabric manufacturer/printer.

also, perception of "greed" is a relative thing and not always accurate. unless you have been allowed to examine their books and balance sheets it is not fair to accuse them of greed. they are a business and need profits to pay their workers, other expenses, and to stay in business.
