So, to steal a line... capitalism interprets regulations as damage and routes around them?

Completely withdrawing from a location is not really "routing around."

This is a case where capitalism is attempting to dominate the political realm.

Uber and Lyft completely withdrew, but capitalism didn't. To the contrary, capitalism routed around the lack of Uber and Lyft, by spawning a (poor) alternative.
