Innovation under capitalism definitely looks like determining what forms of animal cruelty will allow meat to cook twice as fast.

Completely by accident. If squeezing a little more profit had lead to meat taking ten times longer to cook, they would've done that

Indeed, profit is the only motive and everything else is an accident. People attribute positive effects to capitalism in the same way horoscopes work.

Sure capitalism might breed efficiency and innovation, well except for when it breeds monopolies, and price fixing rackets, and wage theft, and outsourcing, and enshittification, and horrible pollution, and anti unionization propaganda, and... Wait I forget what point I was going to make.
