This one has nothing to do with profitability. Though while Buick does not sell in numbers in the US, they do in China, AND they sell a lot more profitably than Pontiac. But who knows what Pontiac is capable of? The G8 is severely limited in sold numbers, so couldn't sell volumes. The G6 does really well for a really old design, and the new G4 or whatever it is, if/when it goes on sale, will spike interest.
GM is, essentially, such a big company that they have lost track of whether they are really just a company or a citizen. The company crossed that line where it almost has a consciousness, and this is really a very spiteful threat: "Support me, or I will drop these brands and you will pay". They would never threaten with Chevy or Cadillac because they are too true to their heart, but know that in spite of the sales Pontiac still had a fan base.
