There’s no rule in capitalism about who wins: the consumer decides who wins when she purchases a producer’s product, picked from the store shelf. The producers of the products we purchase are those who survive, because their income is our expenditures (and their expenditures on wages/salaries is our income).
You could argue that we choose wrong when we go shopping, but ultimately we decide which businesses have an income and which don’t.
