Conjecture
New knowledge ventures succeed by finding a niche inside an ecosystem already rich in complementary knowledge, and fail when they try to grow a whole ecosystem from scratch. Hidalgo sets Charlie's Florida court-coverage firm against Yachay. Applied to a commons, the cheaper route is to attach a narrow, specialised contribution role to communities that already hold the complementary knowledge, not to build a general commons from nothing.
