Price equality is not the goal. Price transparency is. Microeconomics 101 is that market participants need pricing information in order to best allocate resources as supply and demand curves shift.

The more easy and quick it is to ascertain prices, the more quickly and efficiently resources, such as labor, get allocated.

Price transparency does not mean sellers have to pay the same price to everyone.
