This is more true than people realize. I'm not sure if it's entirely the case in this situation; as in that wasn't the initial intent but that's the way it turned out.

Things like Uber, AirBNB, even Google Waymo are all examples of this.

I'm not so sure it wasn't the initial intent. What was the "HQ2 search" but an experiment in new ways of dealing with governments and seeing how much you can get from them?
