How big is the incentive for big corporations to want minimum wages to increase, because that would make it harder for newer competitors to enter the market?

Tbf a lot of companies can (and do) export jobs to third world countries. But also I don't really understand the "all jobs must be able to sustain the livelihood of someone working it." What about part time or multiple jobs? What if you want a side gig?

I once worked at a factory for minimum wage. It was in a tiny town, my rent was cheap (I split it with a guy I was dating), and I could have taken a pay cut and still survived. "Wage it takes to survive" can get super low. Each individual person has a different survival wage.
