Because it's naively childish, and absolves the companies from any wrongdoing because "the market".

This is not what I was trying to convey. Doesn't absolve a company from wrongdoing. If a company is doing something horrific, but no one knows about it, that doesn't make it okay.

I was just trying to rebut the initial comment that this proves the market couldn't solve this.

I don't necessarily have an answer, but I am just saying, if the market isn't even aware, how could they even act?
