Most intro courses, at least for micro, are largely free market oriented. In part that's just because it's easier to teach the principles that way, sort of like introductory physics being frictionless.
Even beyond teaching free market principles, I just think it's useful for people to practice thinking through economic logic, like the effect of taxes and tariffs.
You don't have to agree with everything, but at least you should have some basic practice thinking through first and second order effects, and realizing that the world is dynamic and that people will behaviorally respond to policy.
