Doesn't mean capitalism is bad. Google has a search monoply, there are plenty of other search engines but how can they compete.
If a guy starts a wildfire to get hired as a fireman because he needs to feed his family then capitalism is bad. There are a lot of examples. Maybe you're saying it's not capitalism, but human nature?
Starting a wildfire is arson and criminal, the only thing that guy should get is jail. You'll get hired as a fireman because you're entrusted to protect the community and as a thank you, the community will pay you back. Does that make sense?
Ah yes...the ideal versus the reality. A fight that has lasted throughout time.
