That’s fine to disagree. I used to believe this back when I took Econ classes in college, every Econ professor is a libertarian lmao. I just don’t think a free market would punish bad actors. Tons of people turn a blind eye to anything as long as costs are cheap
The free market punishing bad actors (depending on how we are defining bad actors) is inherently dependent on the morals of the consumer.
The question would then become: "Whose morals are truly virtuous?".
