it is absolutely unacceptable to you. Should people who believe that anything other than their specific branch of Christianity amounts to Satanism force their view on "the market" as well? What do you mean by "our" cultural aspirations? Are you talking in the royal We, or so you have a mouse in your pocket?
What you're actually saying is that you want some outcome other than what the market, which absolutely is a naturally occurring phenomenon despite your beliefs, has produced. And, like everyone else who wants to force their own outcomes, you propose to do so based on a view of morality that you want imposed on everyone else.
The market is the result of a multitude of people making their own independent judgements and decisions about the value and desirability of goods and services. That's it. Anything that interferes with it to produce specific outcomes isn't "shaping", "influencing", or even "interfering" in the market. It's an attempt to replace the market, and thus the right of other people to act on their own judgement, with something else.
Whatever that something else is, it's not a civilized society.

Perfect analogy. “What you're actually saying is that you want some outcome other than what the market, which absolutely is a naturally occurring phenomenon despite your beliefs, has produced” The market, again, is not some natural occurring phenomenon. It is steered by culture and the existing power dynamics within it. That includes pervading issues of sexism, classism, racism, and countless other facets that shape it. If you do not believe this, you are ignoring at least fifty years of sociology. Further, if this concept were so alien, so outrightly crazy, so radical, the chances that it would be getting any attention at all is unlikely.
