Well you can't make things TOO good! How else would you sell more shit to the proles?
We were (or at least I was) told in school that capitalism allowed our civilization to make and sell things we used to only dream about. And when I learned the truth, it was that capitalism was only concerned with how much to sell. If that meant making your products cheaper/worse/less durable on a creeping basis, then that's what the company did.
Capitalism itself is subject to enshittification that affects all products and services.
