There's a big gap between what you're describing and the USA. We pretty regularly see fines that are a fraction of what the crime earned, if it's prosecuted at all. We also have an utterly insane far right wing party and a spineless right party.

We should break up match group. It's not a whole ass monopoly, but it has such a big market share it doesn't really need to compete much. So it offers garbage, makes a lot of money because there aren't a lot of other like options (and people don't realize the apps are all owned by Match)

Yeah, that's my point. It's not that capitalism can't be regulated, it's that the US can't regulate capitalism sufficiently enough.

Agreed. So many monopolies out there that people barely realize are monopolies because a parent company owns a bunch of different "competing" brands rather than running everything under one brand name. Match Group is one of them.
