Only possibly in the short term, but not necessary.
In the long-run it protects profits since if everything goes to total shit, businesses eventually won’t have markets or customers.
It does make it a little harder to just do whatever the fuck you want, and man-babies running companies don’t like realizing they’re only human.
Two more points: If they’re so smart, they should be able to figure out success within the limits of physics (and its consequences for long-term capitalism). Everybody has to play by these rules, so it’s completely fair to have rather strict EPA regulations. Just like we should have strong financial regulations. The red tape is for the benefit of everyone—including the companies.
