Isn’t that how all allocated products work? That’s not nefarious.

Speed trading isn’t a bandwidth problem, and co-located servers already measure cable length to account for the speed of light. This really has nothing to do with that.

Yeah it sucks, but generally people aren’t going to sell you rare and desirable stuff unless there’s something in it for them. Giving you the opportunity to buy it is seen as doing you a favor, so it’s generally limited to industry friends and really good customers.
It means everyday schmoes get shut out, but that’s just the way it works with allocated products.
