The premise here is that people are selling these prototypes, and they are being bought. I mean, fine, that's bad, but when we discuss "prototypes", I assume uninformed cash transactions are off the table.

I gave the example of Apple and Google for a good reason. Because these big companies are selling products that don't even exist yet. You don't consider that selling prototypes? Fair, they're selling stuff that isn't even a prototype. I'm not sure that's any better.

Or maybe you're making a very different point, which I have entirely missed.
