All existing platforms are in some way proprietary, limited in access, intended as commercial enterprises in themselves. Therefore (i) they are unresponsive to real-time demand; (ii) they are expensive and high maintenance; (iii) they unnecessarily [[Rent-seeker|extract rent]], and encourage down-stream [[rent-seeking]] behaviour from participants (iv) they preserve [[confidentiality]] and a worldview which regards as ''proprietary'' an element of market infrastructure ([[boilerplate]]) that is in fact a ''public utility''. | All existing platforms are in some way proprietary, limited in access, intended as commercial enterprises in themselves with a pre-defined solution.
