Seems to me that even if each individual applicant’s motive is purely their own profit, the overall effect is that it makes corruption that much harder. A typical scenario in a highly corrupt country would be that such commercial opportunities are kept hidden and given straight to the leader’s inner circle.

From my experience (responding to two or three FOI every day at a gov agency) 50%+ of FOI are companies fishing for commercial information about upcoming opportunities. Not what FOI was intended for.
