For what I know, I'd say it's because history has shown us that whenever big pharma talk, the masses listen - albeit to their own detriment further down the line. Governments around the world like the word 'cheap', so if someone comes along with the next 'wonder drug' that can be bought on the cheap, it'll get bought regardless of it's efficacy or even safety. Between that point, and big pharma having the cash to grease the right wheels, you can see why they're able to stop a trial early and push this new crud out.
You watch, people will be kicking off about this molnupiravir in several months time after it starts getting dished out, and it's continued efficacy and safety will be brought into question only after several million people have taken it. Remdesivir and Ivermectin come to mind straight away.
