it’s in their own interest to not divulge the whole picture.

Could you give an example? Do you mean they will fail to report or falsify the real prices, or something else? I'll admit I like the idea of more decentralized betting markets (wish Augur had gotten big instead of platforms like Polymarket), but something that egregious seems like it would be tough to get away with without people noticing.
