If you "bid" higher, then you don't know what you are going to get. Also because you have no way of knowing what *others* are bidding. Only if you have auctions (increasing increments) you can establish a feedback loop to settle demand and supply. And the supply side doesn't adapt. Adapting supply would help resolve parts of the capacity problem.
