Possibly, they also tend to be member owned so people have a stake in
making them work whereas a commercial IX may have other priorities

We have virtually zero visibility into what's going on inside
commercial IX compared to the data we see in member organisations -
it's hard to hide stuff from the members

Doesn't mean commercial is bad though
