There’s the dictionary definition and the “how it plays out in the real world” definition. It isn’t defined as a system pushing for constant growth, but due to its competitive winner-take-all nature it becomes a matter of grow or die.
I’d be happy if you can cite the source of your “how it plays out in the real world” definition, if you want to argue that it’s a commonly agreed definition.
What other explanation would you have for the endless pursuit of growth if not capitalism? What other explanation would you have for larger companies pushing smaller ones out if not capitalism. I’m talking both the “why” but also the “how”? Consider the mechanisms of how a company such as Wal-mart can go into a small town and drive everyone else out of business. And then consider why they do it.
Yes, this is what I was trying to explain. It isn’t printed right there in the dictionary because it isn’t the formal definition. It’s just how it ends up actually working.
There’s countless other examples too, where the formal definition and what it means in the real world don’t fully line up.

Please check what a definition means.
You seem to think if it’s not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn’t define a word. That’s not how the real world works.
