Sure, its dollars coming in the door, but are those dollars profit? If the price is low it makes more sense to hold back and wait until it comes up so you can maximize the benefit of your resource.
Its the same mistake the Saudis are making. "Flood the market and gain marketshare!!!"
Great. Lots of people are buying what you're selling, just at rock-bottom prices. So you're selling lots of stuff, just not making much while you're at it.
Congratulations?
