Capitalism is explicitly designed to ensure that those who provide value don't get to keep it. Value is funneled to those who have capital. Hence "capitalism."

Im a car factory, workers who make cars provide value, but management who keep the company afloat, owners who take all the risk, etc. provide an even greater value.

I'm amazed people don't see that and simplify the whole thing into "owners exploit workers". It's just absurd.
