Capitalism is the issue because the money is being saved by cutting corners on safety. In case of non-profits and the government people might actually sue for wasting of money because money is spent on stuff that is not required by law.

Saving resources by skipping on safety features is not exclusive to capitalism. If anything, the correlation seems to run backwards - capitalist countries are generally safer (mostly, I'd say, because they're rich enough to spend extra resources on safety).
In case of non-profits and the government people might actually sue for wasting of money because money is spent on stuff that is not required by law.
Can you give an example of such a lawsuit ever having succeeded?
