I just fail to see what's your problem with folks selling one/two chips they originally bought from someone and so on up to the actual disti/ISP.
we do find the NDA breakers, and original sample sellers ... and the end of the story is usually very sad ... never good, trust me, I saw some pretty stupid cases. I wish we can avoid this!

nothing more to add.
