There isn’t a deemed disposition at the fair market value at the time of death? I thought the estate paid that capital gain which is why the inheritor receives it at the new FMV?

I think the argument is that certain kinds of inheritance, like real estate and ownership in small businesses, cannot survive the taxes. It's the "what about the family farm/store/restaurant?" argument.
