I think it's because capitalism has a "soft correction" mechanism, which is consumer activism. Because complaining and boycotting kind of works as a defense mechanism against market forces, it masks the underlying systemic problems.

Because of this, many people don't actually know how the market shapes industries. We have so many activist conversations and so few policy conversations in public discourse, it reflects what people, even smart people, think about their ability to affect change.
