That is some serious "capitalism can solve anything and therefore will, if only we let it"-type brain rot.

This "solution" relies on so many assumptions that don't even begin to hold water.

Of course any utopian framework for society could deal with every conceivable problem... But in practice they don't, and always require intentional regulation to a greater or lesser extent in order to prevent harm, because humans are humans.

This particular potential problem is almost certainly not the kind that simply "solves itself" if you let it.

And IMO suggesting otherwise is an irresponsible perpetuation of the kind of thinking that has led human civilization to the current reality of millions starving in the next few decades, due to the predictable environmental destruction of arable land in the near future.
