M-Lok rails cost less to machine than KeyMod. Why do you care?

I have both and over a period of time, the M-Lok accessories rips up the inside of the rail surfaces and exposes raw alum. Because it is a tight friction fit, the satin finish is abrasive.

M-Lok is not exactly open source. Rail makers have to sign an agreement to use the M-Lok logos or make any reference to the M-Lok design. The agreement I don't believe is available to airsoft manufacturers.

Big contracts and $$$$$$, things happen behind closed doors.

I like my KeyMod rails and won't be dumping them anytime for M-Lok.
