I guess it depends on whether you believe capitalism and that "invisible hand" stuff is silly.

Those are good things. I want the autonomy to buy the best-for-me (safe, compact, rugged, beautiful) user experience possible, but I'm very happy that there's market competition (Fairphone, etc.) for customers who want the phone equivalent of a project car.

I don’t really know the claim you’re making exactly, but if you’re saying that capitalism is not about laws and regulations then yes that is quite silly. Capitalism doesn’t work without laws protecting contracts, private property (in its innumerable forms), etc. Like I said, we don’t let the market decide many things so that capitalism _is_ possible. Feel free to clarify if you didn’t mean to make that argument.
