Why do people make such a big deal about shark fin soup, why not just make shark soup? Is there such a big difference between the fin and the rest of the shark?

IIRC it’s because they only cut off the fin then throw the shark back into the water to die. It’s killing an entire animal for this relatively small edible portion because the rest of it isn’t very marketable for reasons already explained as opposed to chickens or cows or pigs where the meat industry has found uses for most of the animal.
ETA: typos!
