I work in Forecasting for Amazon and I've often wondered the same thing. Almost any business with some (moderate) degree of uncertainty about the future could be "securitized". I think doing so in a way that preserves privacy, security, and is defensible against disintermediation could be valuable.

All that said, the company that outsources (and that's really what you're proposing) such a core component of their business is probably taking on way too much risk.
