It sorts of reminds me of a government. Like, since a government isn't an enterprise, no one is looking to cut expenses and often tends to buy overpriced work, in short, waste money. Since Hive doesn't have "an owner", the sense of property or care with the expenses seems to dilute and one has to build it oneself. That or hire an external who makes audits, like some country did.
One of the challenges and strengths of distributed networks isn't that it has no owner, but that it has many owners. It takes longer to create in decentralized environments, but the solutions are more robust.
