Sounds catchy, but I'm not sure this is really true. Capitalism is about owning things, not selling things.

Hence the agenda of the current American regime. Outlaw birth control. Eliminate public education. Health care will be too expensive for most workers. And over it all, evangelical Christianity keeps a poorly educated workforce in line. So you end up with a working class who breed fast, die young, and have no concept that life could be any other way.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Someone has to maintain the buildings and people as they age. Without people you don’t have a society. Norms break down, culture breaks down and then some other group will come in to fill the void.

The word "for" does a lot of heavy lifting in there.
Since our economic systems are built to be a pyramid scheme it’ll hurt back for a generation or two but the ecological benefits will quickly outweigh the economic issues.

Humans are the most overabundant resource on the planet...if capitalism actually functioned, the system wouldn't incentivize creating more.
But the current economic system isn't even true capitalism...it's optimized wage enslavement paired with a caste system. Keeping labor pools well stocked depresses the value of replacing individual units...all they're figuring out now is how best to trim maintenance costs.
Support life extension, then both are happy.
