They didn't "lose money", they made less money than they thought they were going to make, or hypothetically could have made if we were living in some imaginary situation instead of actual reality.

If I go to my fridge and find out that there isn't as much ketchup in there as I thought there was I don't write an article whining about all the ketchup I've "lost".
