Market pressure forces innovation in the direction of profit, not satisfying needs. Enshittification is an example of innovation that negatively impacts the user experience. At lower stages of development, markets can be a part of an overall planned system and have great growth, but they need to be managed carefully by a socialist state, a la the PRC, or you end up with private monopoly and megacorps that control the state like the US.
