Okay, I would love that but let me see if I can play devils advocate and get productive responses that work in the capitalistic world we are stuck in.

Why would a company pay a team millions of dollars annually to give it away for free. That destines their entire company for failure in their mind. They get no kick backs other than a thank you note for doing so... Which means nothing to their bottom line but down.
