Magic market words

In tech-related discourse "decentralization", "Open Source", "democratization", "federation" have become weird terms. Not because of the specific architectural or technological concept they are describing but as a way to hide the fact that the speaker thinks that "markets" are the cure-all to anything. Anything is seen as an issue of needing "more competition", "more choice" which - given how many of us have been trained all our lives - might sound like a great idea.
