A tangent but i believe all pricing should public information by law above some threshold to battle corruption, nepotism, cartel making and monopolies.
I've seen too many governments and even medium sized companies paying absurd amounts to some shitty locked in cloud platform with lots of better alternatives, because someone got kickbacks, gifts, vacations or a seat on some board, and everyone should be more enraged.
The EU has tried to battle this with various public procurement processes but it's a big clown show of course so i don't know what the solution is.
