That a competitive market drives prices to zero economic profit is a fairly basic result; no active measures besides the existence of competition are necessary for this.

Yes and that's not necessarily a good thing in all markets. Very low profit margins can result in less innovations and would certainly discourage companies from taking risks (basically by definition)
