Absolutely. This is a significant point. People, being anthropomorphic, are looking for some Big Evil Person who is personally doing all this, when it's an epiphenomenon of the systems we accept/tolerate.
This is a popular line of thought (try googling "corporation evolutionary biology", which gets you to pages like https://hbr.org/2016/01/the-biology-of-corporate-survival ), but it has a weakness: it's hard to be rigorous. In the field of evolutionary biology, experiments are hard to design and hypotheses are hard to falsify, so a lot of the writing is deeply infected by the author's prejudices.
I'm sure there's something there, and I'm confident that whatever it is is more plausible than fragile conspiracy theories like the Illuminati. But exactly how non-biological entities compete and evolve is hard to say.
