To add on your comment: I don't even think the philosophical discussion makes sense.

At the end of the day, what counts as the truth is how much fees you pay when sending a limit order that immediately crosses.

And the answer, for every single market on the planet, is "you pay taker fees". Period.

Most futures markets you pay both sides.

Some equity venues are pay both sides. Others are “reverse” provider pays.

Even in the markets that have fees on both sides, the maker fees are less than taker fees in almost all cases.

I don’t think that’s correct
