This is itself a moral claim. You may choose to base your morals on capitalism, but capitalism itself doesn't force that moral choice.

And the point of landmines is to blow people's legs off, but the existence of landmines does not morally justify blowing people up. Markets are a technology and our moral framework should determine how we employ technologies and not the other way around.

You could make that claim, but I disagree that it is generally accepted that companies destroying products is a morally good thing.

I don't know anyone in western society who thinks things like planned obsolenscence are to be admired.
