Does "the market" have a way to correct for land hoarding by landlords and the banking industry?

I don't think it does, markets work best in liquid scenarios of paying money for an immediate good or service.

How is it in the interest of Apple, Amazon, Walmart, innovative companies - if their customers are spending a huge % of their income on housing - rent or mortgages.

Land owners do little for their money, even if a property falls apart, it's still in a location suitable for habitation and served already by electricity, sewage, internet, so a new building can be constructed.

My prediction - corporate profitability will slowly decline as the housing crisis worsens. The winners are the land owners, the losers are everyone else.
