Are you seriously comparing owning shares with taking advantage of the need to have a home to take ~30% of someone's monthly income?

they are very comparable. Owning shares in a company that takes money to provide essential services? That has been the model of capitalism - fee for service - for a long time, and it has worked. The service gets provided, at the right price that the market can bear ,and still produce a profit for those providing the service. The alternative is to not have that service provided at all!
Then please stop providing the service.

If we had no landlords renting we would all own domiciles.

So please, stop providing these 'services'

If we had no grocery stores we would all own farms. Please stop providing these services
In an ideal world.
