The utilities can always make money as long as people are connected. They are guaranteed an amount of profit and can raise and lower rates and fees upon PUC approval to meet those profit amounts.
Sure, they are probably slow to adopt new ways of doing things, and I'm sure if your job is to deliver high quality and reliable power, you'd want as much control as possible.
I don't actually believe what you're implying, that they are randomly shutting down residential net-metering for no reason other than to force those selected customers to pay for all their electricity.
