I generally agree, but I tend to turn the perspective around to this: truly "Free Markets" are basically the natural, unevolved state of affairs when you don't have a better system in place. The whole reason we invented those better systems is to improve the "consequences for the majority".
A true libertarian wouldn't support corporations at all. They are as bad as tyrannical governments. Proprietorships and partnerships would limit exposure to tyranny of the corporation. They focus the responsibility of the business on the owner and not some protected class of employee.
There's a special kind of delusion easily afflicted by successful people - that because they were so successful, it was because they are so much better. Therefore they will easily believe they will come out on top also in societal collapse. I think such reasoning is behind many super-expensive bug out plans with fortified villas and bunkers.
How many successful people are building bunkers? Isn't that just a pasttime of the very wealthy? There are a whole lot of regular successful people in this world that aren't building out doomsday scenarios in their spare time.
And I'd argue that for the most part these normal successful people are generally justified in thinking they are successful on the merits. Luck has a role, but so does grit.

A true libertarian would ride in on their Unicorn, because those don't exist either. ;)
Your ad hominem arguments will never negate the arguments made against you and ultimately you know this at a deep level. Good day.
