None of that makes it capitalism, which is an economic system where private companies own everything. A company charging fees isn't capitalism.
Using capitalism to describe every negative thing a company does is no different than the other side calling every social policy communist.
Capitalism is bad, but use the term correctly.
This is like saying a person isn't a murderer for just pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger...
Because all that does is put a bullet where they aimed the gun

Ah you're right, why hold individuals accountable when we can just blame the system and absolve them of responsibility
Neither of those are mutually exclusive. You can and should do both.
Personally responsibility should be enforced.
But a system that not only encourages but rewards that behavior should be dismantled/changed/attacked.
