There's huge difference, here's why u miss it. Stop looking at the end result as the ultimate objective because it is not always about the end result which still would be different anyways but for arguements sake let's say the end result is the same. The "immersion" interaction, the legwork holds value in the "no bazaar" EC tunnel economy. In the bazaar version the immersion is lost especially the value of bringing said item to market. The fewer people willing to devote time and effort into bringing said item to market the higher the value of that item.

It's simple economics 101. The bazaar is was created by the devs aka government intervention to stimulate the economy, unfortunately the unintended consequences were all your bank junk lost value. It also gained value making it more accessible but that too had unintended consequences as well. What I'm saying is that the interaction/immersion held more value in the game then trying to stimulate the economy.
