Isn't insider trading the entire point of a prediction market as an information aggregator?

No. Some people have information that they are not fiduciarilly bound to keep secret but they may still know things that would allow them to make a profit. That’s not insider trading, that’s knowing private information that isn’t reflected in market prices. That’s the point of a prediction market as an information aggregator.
