You're right. Silly us. It just ascribes a price tag to everything that slowly rises while your wages don't. Then it effectively locks you in place through pricarious financials.

Everyone should just become a YouTuber and travel the world. /s

It doesn't though. Plenty of free things you can do to better your life. Wages are stagnating? Review your career path. Need more skills? Educate yourself further. Need more money? Search for a new job.

The people "trapped" by capitalism are those who allow themselves to become complacent. Statistically, you will see a pay rise by changing employers. Increasing your skill set increases it further.

How do I know this? No diplomma and I make six figures. Take some personal ownership and improve yourself.
