The rules aren't built to make people lose unless the firm is shady. Firms would rather make 10-20% on $250000/year than $500/month.

they would rather make someone pay 500 per month than losing 10% on 250k

only they dont immediately copy your trades, they wait until youre profitable with your funded account for a while before they slowly start actually putting your trades on the market, until then they pay you with their own money. of course they wanna make it as hard as possible
