Ah, so nothing actually to do with software (or even similar fields). I'm not
saying software is unique, but it certainly does seem to have significant
differences from, say, the invention of television.

If you can find such a mechanism, that'd be great. So far, you haven't even
proposed one, much less argued that it would, in fact, have these features.
Meanwhile, we'll continue to use the best of the known approaches, which would
be the one based on the GPL.

Umm, no.
OSS has no interest in whether society is properly run or otherwise. OSS is a
pragmatic method of producing software.
A properly run society is the goal of the Free Software movement, which you
deride.
