Many on here are correct in saying that EA would stand to make more profit if they made the market more accessible to more people.

Based on what exactly? People have been saying this but there is no way to know for sure. It's conjecture. I said in another thread that if EA could reasonably project a price decrease would result in greater profits they would implement it overnight.

Based on many other business models, for one. Also the fact that these types of threads are a bi-weekly thing. It shows that there are a lot of people who would be willing to pay if the prices could be justified by more people. This isn't a new concept.

I made a few points that more or less answer your question. You have to get people in the door before you can sell them something. At the current prices, not many people are willing to step foot in. I mean, you can't even buy a single premium character or building with some of their smaller donut packages. What can you even buy with a box of donuts? You'd barely make off with a plant. Most casual gamers see that as discouraging and are less willing to even put a small amount of money into the game much less get hooked and start buying more and more.
