I think you might misunderstand the value preposition. Polymarket wants insider trading. That's the whole point. They'll eventually cave in to PR pressure and deviate from the original purpose, though.

Some of the things people bet on can be decided by a single person.

The more accurate the markets get, the greater the incentive for insiders to spoil it.

That doesn’t benefit anyone but the insider and probably has a net negative on everyone else.
