You mean "It was never an open marketplace", right?

In many marketplaces you have to pay for place in order to open stand yet we still call them open marketplaces (as long as price is affordable, but I would consider 100$ to be such) so why when you apply the same mechanisms for "virtual stand" it suddenly ceases to be open?
The market is open, the store is closed (or walled).
