Many customers = Service Provider

Yes, the grant-givers try very hard to prevent this, but it's physics. As soon as there is some filter in place, between producer and consumer, that filter has to make decisions, which concentrates influence upon the producers.
Otherwise, there would be no point to the filter.
Also adds systemic risk by creating a big pot of money that can be confiscated or blocked by government.
