It's also an example of something capitalism does well. Those chicken sandwiches are not interchangeable, and you can buy the one that best suits your taste and budget, plus competition generally keeps the quality pretty good.

Capitalism ruins a hell of a lot of things that really matter, but not chicken sandwiches.

Exactly. I'm as "last stage capitalism" as they come (okay maybe not extreme) but this image is a terrible take.

All those varieties saw a market that demanded a product. Companies innovated and are selling the products and making a profit.

I feel like the OP missed the point. A better example would be to show pure monopolies like ISPs. The fact we're paying hand over fist for subpar internet is an example of innovation not working.
