It made me realize there are ways for capitalism to be “ethical”, that not all banks are trying to make a profit at all costs and that there are investors that track and optimize for other metrics besides monetary returns, e. g., community impact.

Community impact is certainly one angle to consider capitalism from, but for me the most important and damning aspect is the investor-ownership of the means of production. I think the people doing the work should be the ones getting the profits for said work. I don't think it's right for anyone to claim ownership of another person's work. It's inherently antagonistic to have parasites built into the economy.
