Real fans don't matter to the higher earning teams as their cash provides little in terms of income so as to make it insignificant.
Real fans don't matter to any team in the Premier League from a financial perspective!! Sure some teams and owners still care about their fans, including teams in the top 6, but that is only for non-financial reasons. Ticket sales pale into insignificance for the PL teams because of the TV money, I would bet Bournemouth make less than 10m from ticket sales but rake in over 100m from tv money. As far as I am aware Huddersfield are the only club that offer season tickets at vastly reduced prices simply because they recognize that that money is insignificant in the whole scheme of things compared to other revenue streams. Of course once they go back down to the EFL, that will have to change as ticket sales revenue becomes the biggest revenue stream down there!!!! That's why you see clubs, including SWFC, charging far more than some PL teams do, they have to maximise that revenue to make ends meet in the Championship when the TV money dries up!!
