You do realize you didn't answer a single point in that response, just went off on a tangent, right? You stated at the start that "Though having Suzaku kill Akito and his harem... I mean friends might push those fans over the edge." At the suggestion of "Who cares?" you insist that "Profits care." Ergo, you have drawn the connection that having Suzaku be responsible for a downer ending will be bad for sales.

The success of a show doesn't hinge on the actions of one character, but on the story as a whole. By and large, it will be the protagonists that sell this show, and the new antagonists to some extent, since they're the new things that people will either like or hate. The story is centered around them. Even if it ends on a low note, the fact that the story is still good is what will sell it.
