That's not much incentive.

The method that economics shows directly decreases price and directly increases quantity in a market is from the profit incentive, and indirectly the result includes quality increase.


I hate to appeal to an example because they are never persuasive, but we have examples of markets being run non-profit and a popular quote that came out of one of those examples is "they pretend to pay us, we pretend to work".
