I'm fine with them not having that incentive.

Scams can be uncovered by CUSTOMERS and plenty of other people than short sellers, and I don't think overvalued equities is actually a problem. Many times overvalued equities leads to faster adoption of EVs and solar and better GPUs and other nice things, which are more important to my personal life than maintaining the sanctity of capitalism.

Overvalued equities lead to market crashes that tend to wipe out the retirement funds of unsophisticated investors and bankrupt otherwise viable companies. Has everyone forgotten about the dot com bubble of 2000? If so I think we're headed for a reminder.
