It seems the BTC addresses are unending and you generate 200 addresses per year. Is there anyway to profit from that? Anything at all?

If you happen to get lucky and find a rare bitcoin address such as one that starts with a long word or a long number then you could potentially sell it. However this would be very hard as you would know the private key so would have access to the wallet. You would have to convince someone that you wouldn't steal their bitcoins. So overall, no you can't profit from it, you could however end up with a really rare Bitcoin address.
people would definitely NOT buying these things because you know the privkey been revealed to more than 1 persons so the money on the specific address could be stolen anytimes,people would prefer generating by themselves than buying,it's more secure

That's not quite true. Only here in the service forum there is a post from someone selling vanity bitcion addresses and it seems she has buyer and lots of them. You can find her post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257817.0
