Any analogy will be imperfect. Let's then consider a different scenario. Let's compare a grocery shop to a broad commons or marketplace, where strangers go to find other strangers to do...whatever. Trade ideas, or buy and sell goods.

In a liberal society, this is generally regarded as a failure. C gaining power is good for C, bad for A and B, and bad for the health of the commons, because A and B are less able to interact for mutual benefit (and may seek coercive power themselves).

In short, politicization and morality enforcement both damage the power of ordinary people to seek beneficial interactions. They also become cripplingly expensive as the size of the commons increases, and tend to degenerate into banditry.

Anyway, this is just a sketch. For further consideration, I'd start with JS Mill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Liberty
