I think you know that OP didn't suggest that we have more incompetent companies.

If OP isn't suggesting that, then what's the shame in having an incompetent company go out of business?

It's a shame the company wasn't competent enough to succeed. Why must this be spelled out? I feel like half this thread is bad faith face-value pedanticism for no benefit.

Because it's about as meaningless a comment as saying "thoughts and prayers". There's nothing shameful about an incompetent company going out of business, it's actually exactly what should happen.
