Won't happen because it's all about control - and reaching the 100% profit margin. Now, maximizing profit is good, but there's never going to be a system that reaches that level and guarantees that it can be maintained. Yet we constantly see upper managment trying to do so time after time. They seem to have forgotten that there is a level of profits that absolutely WILL cause upstart firms to work to steal a share of the market - if only by rejecting the 'protections' on *their* products the customers find so onerus (onerous?).
