That scandal was a big shitshow and vw got the short end of the stick. Everyone was doing it, VW being one of the largest, got caught. The problem with capitalism is that if one player cheats, it gets a monopoly if the others don’t. (see every US company ever. US capitalism is based on two principles:
1: print a bunch of money to buy the competition. If that fails ->2
2: cheat)
This mindset has sadly contaminated the rest of the world for obvious reasons.
So what you’re saying is, in spite of industry wide crimes, none of the CEO’s or senior leadership are in jail? Sounds like a capitalist dictatorship to me…

Capitalism is capitalism. Some countries might do a better job of reining it in slightly, but it’s only a matter of time before they enshittify.
Look at the European car industry and the emissions scandal.
