It might seem like it's going that way at first. I wouldn't say it's a commentary on late-stage capitalism as much as that's just part of the setting.

It's possible to comment on something without overexplaining it using voiceovers and exposition.
It's a recurring theme in Korean media eg Parasite and Snowpiercer.

You've picked two films by a single Korean director who is outspoken about his views, which his hardly a good way to show it's a recurring theme across the media in general.
I could pick Atlanta and The Wire and say American media is commonly critical of police. Or turn around and pick CSI and Law & Order and say that American media is commonly supportive of police. It hardly says something about the overall landscape. And thats even picking shows with different directors!
