We make many of these sorts of compromises as part of living in a civilized society, and in this case, it's been decided that the rights of the incumbent tenant to be secure in their apartment trump the rights of the prospective tenant to pay a lesser rent.

There’s always a cheaper apartment to rent. Why does anyone “deserve” to stay somewhere like Greenwich Village, when ostensibly more successful people with better jobs and higher incomes have to live in some neighborhood in Queens or Jersey because they didn’t win a lottery?
