I was referring to the effect being opposite of the effect that would have been motivated by capitalism.

This is a single company making a decision. It is neither capitalism nor socialism nor any other economic system, because it's not a system. It's one company making one decision. I just assumed that was obvious from context.

And my point was that this decision is quite literally the opposite of the decision that capitalist incentives would drive the company towards.

And yes, government regulations could accurately be described as the opposite, or in direct opposition to, free market capitalism.
