whenever I see headlines like this, I always think: great opportunity for someone to create transparent trusts then?

am I super biased or fully drank the Kool aid if I believe entrepreneurs are the solution to many of society's ills?

I don't think "finance people" === "entrepreneurs".

They're completely different groups (except finance entrepreneurs I guess), and it's the former that causes a lot of societal problems (although, arguably, the people whose money they manage are just as responsible, if not more so).

For everyone but the individual account holders (who have ~no voice in this market) the opacity of the trusts is a selling point, isn't it?

If entrepreneurship is the solution to society's ills why don't entrepreneurs solve societal problems? (note this criticism is equally effective when pointed at non-profits)
