>for putting them out of business in such unfair way
Again, is it fair for good and efficient businesses to be forced to support bad and inefficient businesses?
If so, what will stop people from starting inefficient businesses to make the good ones hand them charity?
Most of our standard of living increases is the result of inefficient companies and processes being replaced by more efficient ones. What you propose slows this down (or perhaps stops it completely), so now is it fair you're robbing the future of quality of life gains simply to hand charity to inefficient actors?
Do you routinely buy overpriced goods to support your beliefs?
This is simply bad economics, and it's the kind of belief that leads to terrible societal outcomes when enough people enforce this via political power.
I find it fair for companies to compete for customers via better products, lower prices, better service, or any combination of things their customers want, and those companies that cannot compete through obsolescence, inefficiency, market changes, to fade away. This seems pretty fair to me, and has less societally painful side effects than any system I've seen tried (and I've read quite a bit on such things).
