Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sadly, it seems that "good access to information" is the weak link in this chain, which can easily be broken by SEO, astroturfing, and the like.

Can you imagine someone building an Uber scale business built on SEO, astroturfing, and the like and people continuing to use it? I can't.

I can definitely imagine an incumbent company using SEO and astroturfing to prevent people from knowing a would-be Uber-sized company exists.
