No problem with it. Obviously if it was based upon me being a member of a protected class, it would be illegal. But if it's not, and that's how they want to run their business - it's fine by me. Probably won't go there.
And, yes, I realize that's what you are saying about the dealerships - they shouldn't charge more than MSRP because, in the long run, it may be bad for the business. You might be right - but you might not. I have no problem with them making that decision. And I certainly assign no "moral" pejorative - like greed - to that decision. When you choose to buy a product at one store that is marked below the tag price - i.e. MSRP - why aren't you the one being "greedy?"
