They attempt to take legal action against a developer who plans to build a new structure on an adjacent plot of land that would partially block this view.

A software developer creates two versions of a digital art platform.
- Platform A: Users can create digital images, but any other user can make a perfect copy of any image for their own use simply by saving it.
- Platform B: Users can create digital images, and each image is assigned a unique, verifiable digital certificate. Only the holder of the certificate is recognized by the platform as the owner, and this ownership can be officially transferred to another user.
A thriving marketplace where users buy and sell images for significant prices is far more likely to develop on Platform B than on Platform A. Which statement best analyzes the core economic reason for this difference?
