But only when it is convenient. For example school teachers or police officers can work their brains out but cannot profit from it like entrepreneurs do. For many people unbounded capitalism is a very shitty proposition.

Teachers and police officers don't benefit by definition because they do not have capital. Capitalism benefits the people who start private schools and private jails. Capitalists take advantage of labor in order to increase their own profits.
