It makes business sense to appeal to the majority of the market.
Not everyone wants a 3 course meal on a one hour flight.
You will also find that the big airlines such as Air France only give you a sandwhich on a short haul flight.
As long as it is regulated as all airlines are in the Uk, same security and safety procedures are followed then as long as you get from A to B that is what matters.
When you get on a bus or a taxi in town you dont want your seat to be leather padded, champagne on tap, and complimentary travel bag do you.
It is simply a means from one place to another and everyone is entitled to travel in economy or if you want to spruce up and spend mega money on a sleeper Cabin with Champagne. It doesnt make the airline any worse than another just because they offer different comfort.

If you cannot afford to fly, then other are other means, who wouldn’t want a 3 course meal, a leather padded seat, champagne on tap and complementary travel bag each time you take the plane and train. An airline is judged, by comfort, security, safety and convenience.
In that criteria, Ryanair and other budget airlines fail overall with flying colours, not helped by the fact they are driving down the standards of even non-budget airlines
P.S. If you still want to fly, but cannot afford it, join a union and demand higher wages from your employeer
