There are multiple alternatives, this is just one particular dystopia you’ve foreseen.

Capitalism can be effectively regulated and often is, and as a system it only works effectively due to the presence of regulated markets.

Sure, you can regulate and probably should. It’s important that genuine technology is brought to market.

But I posit that it doesn’t really matter. Technology will ultimately prevail. I’m not sure I would call it a dystopia but rather the next step in the evolution of life.

It’s a dystopian fantasy, one that has been played out in a variety of novels.

There’s nothing inevitable about it.
