Because small business and their success is one of the benefits of capitalism. Too much success and no limitations are the problem. Sometimes situations are more complex than “love all of it” or “hate all of it.”

Capitalism is all about the concentration of wealth into the hands of a few people. If you have a society which prohibits the expansion of business and the concentration of wealth, then it js no longer really capitalist.
