So, what you're saying is, for example, that because Ancestry has
multiple unique databases - for which you must pay for access -
there's no reason for other entities to have or develop similar
databases .. after all, that'd be another central-repository.

'Scuse me, but I think not.  Yeah, y'gotta look in more than one
place to find information, sometimes there's some question about
just which version of a do***ent is the "real thing".  I can only
speak for myself, but I'd much rather have multiple places to poke
around in, more than one point of view, especially WRT wikis, and
the essential freedom to make up my own mind as to the validity and
appropriateness of a given piece of evidence.
