"Ought one to feel sympathy for the market makers?"
Obviously yes.

However, whether they made a profit depends on their overall position over the course of the share price fall and the profit or loss they made from trading it on the way down.

You seem to be forgetting that your return on an investment will also depend on what you pay for it.

The share price will perform well when the company makes some money. All the other catalysts are incidental.
