The market is nothing but the sum of all the actors in the market. If the value created by SWEs doubled (even if only for 10% of participants), the market equilibrium would be higher because of the increased demand for SWEs. If it was instead cut in half (even for only 10% of participants), the market equilibrium would be lower due to decreased demand.

I can’t see any reasonable way that the market for SWEs “has nothing to do” with the value created by them.
