Hard to say whether this is a feature or a bug of capitalism. It's like an alternate definition of enshittification though:

Once you've exploited every moral way to make money with your business, expand your scope to every "legal" way.

I'd call it a bug. If we don't fix it, I think that our habit of creating incentives towards outcomes that nobody actually wants will eventually kill us.
