What if one person comes in and takes it all? Don't even need companies, just individuals.

That's the tragedy of the commons.

So we shouldn't have nice things because someone might act in bad faith?

That's the thing though: someone will. That's what regulations, ownership (collective or individual), and laws are for. That's why it's not a simple thing.

What if the tree only produces 3 fruit, is it wrong for three siblings to pick and eat them?

Idk, you tell me. I'm suggesting that scarce resources not owned by anyone will get used by those who take it. This is a fact. What then? Is it bad? Is it ok? Pretending it's not a thing is to deny reality and all of human/life history
