    You are conflating very different things here, I’m afraid.

    I’m really not. You want a neutral marketplace that just provides a service without a profit motive. That’s what it comes down to. Because any service that requires a profit will naturally protect that profit, and that includes excluding suppliers that are actively sabotaging it.

      No, I want marketplaces to operate in good faith and following the law. Don’t think that’s so much to ask.

        Materially & historically speaking it absolutely is too much to ask, sooner or later someone inevitably gains enough wealth to rig the game, the only way anyone in history has ever managed to get anything resembling good faith out of “marketplaces” has been at gunpoint
