Depends on which market. Obviously where natural monopolies or public goods exist, the free market isn't completely ideal.

Hey, you're making sense.

We shouldn't think of it has "free market or anti-free market", we should consider the market for every good (or broad category of good) separately, and analyze whether the market is the most ideal way to move forward.

Uh huh.

For most goods, the free market works better than any alternative.

Yep

For some goods and services, a free market has obvious shortcomings.

Yep again.

The end game of free market capitalism depends on the actual good/service involved in that market.

So what do you think the endgame of free market capitalism looks like in the ISP market? The high cost of infrastructure, as well as the generally undesirable nature of duplicate infrastructure, it lends itself to natural monopolies, doesn't it? My only real hope here is that multiple players will get into the LEO/MEO satellite internet game. But, again, as we see with SiriusXM, monopolies are almost inevitable here, too. It just makes business sense.
