 Ok, but sometimes, you do want to restrict commercial activities and limit the exchange of values to contributions because value in the form of money can have a corrosive impact to the community (or the opposite depending on the case), because the fact that money can be used to other markets/communities, disturbs the focus of the community, let's say certain religious communities for example. Nostr is the case that commercial activity can have building effects for the community as long as it doesn't disturb other values like decentralisation for example, but money are not necessary to communities in general, although value does like you said... 
 Money is separate from religious groups? That's a stretch
