Is your point that the money should go to companies that make things that people need as opposed to want? Or is your point that the money somehow flows to companies that make things that people neither need nor want?

It's this second one.

What's an example of this? Why are people deciding to pay money for something they neither want nor need? Seems odd

Imagine doing something with money that isn't investing in a for profit company.

That feels like a non-segueter given the comment I was responding to
